Audition Schedule

In order to recruit dancers for our auditions, I sent out postings to five different agencies or schools. Some of which included:

- Dancer Pro

- Ideas Tap

- London Dance 

- Guildford School of Acting 

- Rachel Palmer's Dance Company

In total our production got approximately 500 views, followed by 12 applications, only three of which could confirm an audition with us. As a result I created the following audition schedule (names removed for privacy): 

Dancer 1 - arrive 12:30, audition at 1:00PM

Dancer 2 - arrive at 1:30PM audition at 2:00PM 

Dancer 3 - arrive at 2:30PM audition at 3:00PM

I booked out W612 as the warm up and waiting room for the dancers. The auditions took place in G27, with Al, Jacob and Callam in the room. We provided water and bananas as complementary refreshments. At the end of the day only two of the dancers showed up. Dancer 2 never returned any of my calls to either cancel or reschedule her audition. We decided to move on.

At the end of the day, the team and Director decided that Dancer 1 was best suited to work with us (see Abdualziz Lamlum's blog for details reasons). I think she was a great choice because not only was she experienced, but she was very friendly and easy to work with compared to Dancer 2. As someone who teaches choreography I feel like she can teach us quite a number of things.
