The Young Vic, London, is seeking male dancers for the Company’s upcoming main house production of ‘If You Kiss Me, Kiss Me’. Auditions will consist of a technique class followed by a creative session, open to highly skilled graduate/professional dancers, on 2 November. Rehearsal and production dates are from 18 January–16 April 2016, with an option to extend the run until 30 April 2016.
The new production will be a part dance/part gig, a theatrical collaboration conceived by Jane Horrocks and Aletta Collins, and directed and choreographed by Aletta Collins. The Young Vic is looking to meet with male dancers who have an excellent contemporary technique, strong improvisation skills and a willingness to contribute to the process.
With regards to show information, Jane Horrocks stars in this world premiere of a show unlike any you have previously seen. As an eclectic part gig, part dance piece, at its heart is the nation’s sweetheart Jane Horrocks who will sing her own gritty and soulful versions of the new wave music she grew up with in the North West. With gorgeously evocative choreography by director Aletta Collins, a company of brilliant dancers and a fabulous live band, If You Kiss Me, Kiss Me follows a woman’s life through desire, love, motherhood and loss, with the energy of the best night out.
