Retina Youth Dance Company seeks dancers
Retina Youth Dance Company
Retina Dance Company is auditioning young dancers to take on a unique trip to Belgium. They
are looking for 15 to 19 year olds that live in the East Midlands to create a new dance piece on,
that will be performed alongside Flemish and Dutch companies in the Body Dynamics festival in
Bornem, Belgium in October.
Retina is a professional international touring contemporary dance company based in both Nottingham and Antwerp, Belgium. As well as their touring productions they specialise in teaching contemporary dance to young, old, community and professional dancers.
In partnership with Dance4, the regional host for Youth Dance England, Retina is looking for
dancers with skills, but most importantly a passion to learn something new, push themselves
physically and people that are willing to work hard to create a great new performance piece.Retina
is hoping to create an ongoing youth dance company that will be led by the company dancers, so this
project is hopefully the first of many.
To register for the audition you must complete and return an application form that you can
obtain from Joanna Smuga-Lumatz by email on
admin@retinadance.com or phone 0115 947 6202 (ext
225)
This initiative is supported by Retina Dance Company, Dance 4, Youth Dance England, Arts Council England and Leicester College.
