Please read before registering:
It is strongly recommended that interested parties are familiar with our organization via previous participation in our workshops and classes, or as an audience member.
Company positions are available to dancers who are out of school and have an advanced level of training and pre-professional or professional experience in dance.
Apprenticeship positions are available to students in high school through to college or university students.
Simcoe Contemporary Dancers rehearse on an ongoing basis and perform on a project to project basis - based on performance bookings, projects, and partnership opportunities. Our season contains a range of events from in-kind charitable performances to paid performances for company members.
Although not all apprentices and company members may be cast in every piece or involved with every performance, a weekly time commitment of 6 hours a week (excluding shows) should be anticipated.
All company members and apprentices are required to take class together on Sundays from 12:00pm-1:15pm in Barrie. The majority of rehearsals will be held Sundays 1:30pm-3:00pm in Barrie.
*All audition participants will be required to sign a participation waiver and image release form. If you are under 18 please be prepared to have a parent/guardian sign these. A link to these forms will appear in the submission confirmation of the registration.
The audition will include a short technique class, learning some of our company repertoire, improvisation and a short interview.
Simcoe Contemporary Dancers gratefully acknowledges the support of The City of Barrie whose grants to arts organizations has made this initiative possible.
Throughout the season we often require volunteers to help with various aspects of our performances as well as opportunities and calls to the public for open participation in projects.
If you have not done so already, we encourage you to “like” us on facebook to keep up with these opportunities as they arise.
