Hosted by Fall for Fall

Covid-19 has caused entire seasons of dance to be cancelled - festivals, performances, and residencies have been cancelled with no future date in sight. Atlanta is a vibrant, artistic city, and there are more artists than there are opportunities.

​

Spring for Spring Dance Festival is an opportunity for independent choreographers to present socially distanced work outside. The evening will include a live DJ and visual art. It will include a presentation of 10-13 live works by local choreographers and dancers. Designated seats and lanes will keep social distance procedures in place and masks for audience will be required.

Application: Piece must adhere to social distanced guidelines. Piece can be a new creation or pre-existing work.

​

Dates: June 4-6, 2020

​

Location: TBD, location might be different per evening

​

Line-up will be different nightly.

In a Berlin nightclub, as the 1920’s draw to a close, a garish Master of Ceremonies welcomes the audience and assures them they will forget all their troubles at the "Cabaret." With the Emcee’s bawdy songs as wry commentary, CABARET explores the dark, heady, and tumultuous life of Berlin’s natives and expatriates as Germany slowly yields to the emerging Third Reich.

SPRING AWAKENING 

Choreography by Janie Young

​

OnStage Atlanta

July 19 - August 24, 2019.
Fridays and Saturdays at 8pm
Sundays at 3pm

An exhilarating journey of teenage self-discovery, lost innocence and coming-of-age. Winner of 8 Tony Awards, Spring Awakening is a provocative exploration of the journey from adolescence to adulthood told through an electrifying contemporary musical with a pop/rock score. Based on Frank Wedekind's controversial 1891 play of the same name, it follows the interweaving lives of a group of German teenagers as they navigate issues of sexuality, morality, and adulthood. Although set in late-19th century Germany, the angst, emotion, desire and romance still ring true today.

CRUSH YOUR NEXT DANCE CALL WITH CONFIDENCE!

Calling all actors who move, movers who act, dancers who dance, and actors who dance! Wait what? You know what I mean!

As a performer, you must be familiar with a sentence that can cause major anxiety: "Please bring a change of clothes as there will be a dance call." Your blood starts rushing, you break into a sweat...and you haven't even danced yet!
Nail your next audition with this fast-paced, high-energy dance workshop. No jazz squares here--this is high stakes, emotional storytelling through movement. Practice the core techniques you’ll encounter in the audition room, get some tips for standing out (even when you have no idea what you’re doing), and learn an audition-style dance number. Bring your brain and your A-game and get ready to rock your body.
