“She can work with anyone, even the most ‘rhythmically challenged,’ and make them shine on stage.”
The performance world is SUPER intimidating. Theatre auditions are stressful and I’ve even seen them make people cry (I’ve dried a few tears). The singing audition is vulnerable, dance auditions are uncomfortable, and sometimes you’re so in your head that you’re not even acting.
They don’t have to be this way. After over a decade of being on both sides of the table and teaching dance, I came to realize auditioners get this way due to a lack of knowledge. Knowledge of what’s actually happening on the other side of the casting table. Knowledge of how casting actually works.
On the flip side, why aren’t instructors passing along that knowledge? Why are there still directors and choreographers out there choosing refrain from creating a warm and welcoming audition environment? This broke my empathetic heart.
I made it my mission as a director/choreographer to make auditions as transparent and welcoming as possible. I want to see you do well at auditions. I want to see who you are, what you bring to the table, and how bright you shine.
The audition and rehearsal process I’ve created has done nothing but bring actors and dancers to shine. They’ve achieved new heights with their performances, and freed themselves from nerves, stress, and pressure. Plus, they’ve gained new insights and mindsets when it comes to acting, theatre, and dance.
