FREE AUDITION WORKSHOP – 23 FEBRUARY 1PM-5PM

“THEN.NOW.WHEN?” a double bill “REBEL” & “CONVERSATIONS” is QL2 Dance’s major project for 2020 for our Quantum Leap ensemble (ages 14+) — which could mean you!

If selected during the free workshop, you will create and perform new work with Artistic Director Ruth Osborne and choreographers Steve Gow, Jack Ziesing and Jodie Farrugia.

Physical, thoughtful, and professionally presented: THEN.NOW.WHEN? is an opportunity for you to collaborate and create with other young dancers.

Activism. Rebellion. Revolution.  When is change coming? Who will make it happen? And how?

“Rebel” – Activism is growing, we need major societal change. We need it now. It happened before… it will happen again. Rebel.
“Conversations” – Movement is a universal language that knows no borders. Two youth dance companies meet in movement, one Thai, the other Australian.

WORKSHOP AUDITION:  Sunday 23 February 1pm-5pm at the QL2 Studio, Gorman Arts Centre. Pre-registration is essential. Please arrive 15 minutes early.

WHO CAN DO THE AUDITION WORKSHOP?

Ages 14-23, with a creative mind and dance, theatre or gymnastics experience.

REHEARSALS: Sundays from 15 March to July (except Easter), ten days over two weeks in April and two week full time in July – in school holidays for most students.
