WORKSHOP AUDITION - February 2010

KHDT will host a technique and repertory workshop in February 2010 that will serve as an audition for our Fall 2010 Season at the Ailey Citigroup Theater, April Benefit at City Center Studios, and possible future work. There will be a performance and reception at the end of the workshop that will be open to the public. The dancers selected for the Ailey Season, will receive a performance stipend.


 
Dates:  Saturdays and Sundays February 6-7, 13-14, 20-21, and 27-28
Times:  Saturdays 2:00-6:00 pm, Sundays 1:00-5:00 pm
Cost:  $240 for the full workshop (only $15 per 2 hr class!)
Location:  Kazuko Hirabayashi Dance Theater, 330 Broome St. (between Bowery and Christie). Directions: B/D to Grand or 6 to Spring.

Each day will begin with a Graham-based technique class, followed by a repertory rehearsal, both led by Artistic Director and Master Teacher Kazuko Hirabayashi. Kazuko's work is both intensely physical and highly dramatic, challenging her dancers' technique and expressive artistry. Although the class is Graham-based, all training backgrounds are welcome and the work is contemporary in nature.

We are currently accepting $100 deposits to hold a place in the workshop. Space is limited so reserve early! Please email KHDTinfo@gmail.com for more details.
