Award winning African contemporary dance
company, Flatfoot Dance Company, will host auditions on January 25 for
prospective full-time dancers who would be interested in joining the company.
Based at the University of KwaZulu-Natal's
Howard College Campus, the Flatfoot Dance Company is looking for a female dancer
(over 19 years of age) who would be interested in joining the company on a
full-time professional contract (35 hours a week) as of February 1. The company
has an annual programme that includes performance seasons both in and out of
South Africa, dance education and development programmes, and
schools/university dance education work. Working in a contemporary idiom based
on Hawkins, Graham and Release Technique they also do a weekly ballet and
pilates/yoga class.
All Flatfoot dancers form part of the
administration of the company and its programmes and, as such, the new company
member will need to be able to write reports (guidance is always offered!) and
assist with negotiated administrative tasks.
Applicants must have a minimum of two years
full-time or part-time contemporary dance training or professional dance work,
a proven dance or arts education experience (formal or non-formal education
will be considered). Only applicants over the age of 19 will be considered.
They must be computer literate and have a valid South African passport. A
driver’s licence is not a must but would be advantageous for applicants.
Auditions will take place from 13h30 to 16h00
on January 25 at the Drama Studies, Dance Studio 2 located at the University of
KwaZulu-Natal Howard College Campus.
