HEDWIG HOLDS VIRTUAL AUDITIONS FOR DANCERS JUNE 24 through JULY 18

Company Looks to Hire for Spring Season and Special Projects

Hedwig Dances seeks dancers with a strong background in modern, ballet, partnering techniques, as well as improvisation experience, including a focus on working with objects and props. We plan to hire three dancers for the spring season and will be looking to hire additional project dancers later in the season. Our season includes annual performances in Chicago and potential international touring. Season activities are subject to change due to pandemic. Rehearsals begin in September. Dancers must be available Mondays, Wednesdays and Thursdays for rehearsals as well as all tech rehearsals and scheduled performances.
