Student Company I & II
Student Company I & II dancers are advanced students (ages 10-18) and selected by audition each Fall. Auditionees must audition in-person. There are no audition makeups.
Dancers are required to participate in two weekly classes (the designated Student Company Modern class and one other dance technique of their choice) for the entire school year – September to June. Weekly Student Company Modern classes will take place adjacent to weekly Student Company rehearsals. Performance opportunities will take place throughout the year, including an annual production at the Mark Morris Dance Center with theatrical lighting and costumes. Students choosing to commit to the Student Company are not permitted to miss more than three classes/rehearsals per semester.
Students who are planning to audition for either Student Company I or Student Company II should complete the audition application form by clicking HERE.
AUDITION FORMAT: Dancers will be led through a brief warm-up followed by students learning and demonstrating a short phrase of Mark Morris repertory. Dancers should wear tights or leggings and a leotard or tight-fitting top that covers their torso. Dancers will be barefoot.
