Untrained Male Dancers Wanted – Paid Opportunity

Do you like to jump around, crump, bop or just get that body moving? Have you ever wanted to get on a stage and strut your stuff to a cheering audience? Or would you just like to learn about the art of dance, and even help create the show?

We have just the opportunity for you!

Lucy Guerin Inc (LGI) is looking for two male-identifying people without any dance training to become part of the cast of the Auckland Arts Festival season of its contemporary dance production Untrained.

In Untrained, two people with no dance experience have a challenge – to follow the dance steps of two very experienced and skilled dancers on the same stage. Here’s the good news – perfect moves are not the point! What matters is how the untrained match the professionals in their own entertaining way.

The two untrained people we are looking for will help create the show during rehearsals and be the star attractions when on stage. The audience won’t be looking for perfection – they’ll be watching you having a go and will applaud you for it.

This is a paid position. Please read the below Job Information outlining the commitment of successful applicants before making your application.
