However, you will also be expected to perform percussive movement with rhythmical precision. Please check some of our video trailers to see if you could imagine yourself in our midst. This being said, here is what we are looking for: • You have excellent contemporary dance technique and are particularly strong with partnering and floorwork. • You have strong musicality, you are familiar with musical terms and counting, and are able to lock in with a groove. • You feel comfortable with improvisation and creative tasks in the choreographic process. • You are in great physical shape. 8 hours of dancing a day are not a problem at all. • You have a number of years of stage experience. • You are a dedicated team player, used to taking responsibility, and confident even in times of high pressure. • You feel comfortable using your voice or singing on stage (not solo). • Gender, age, color, size, „type“, or whatever else does not matter. Please be aware that we can only employ dancers that are within reasonable travel distance from Leipzig, Dresden, or Berlin. How to apply: please send your application until 03.11.2023 to: [email protected]. In your email, please include a link to 1 or 2 videoclips of yourself dancing.
