Auditions, Workshops, Classes

Q: I am a dancer who is interested in auditions/workshops/open classes. How do I find out about these?
A: Please email your information, including a resume or CV and headshot, to info@billtjones.org. The Company keeps a list of interested dancers who are notified via email of upcoming auditions, workshops, and open classes. We also post notices for auditions and classes in local and national publications, as well as at dance studios and schools with dance programs. The company does not teach regular classes. Classes are sometimes offered in conjunction with performances if scheduled by the presenting theater. See our performance calendar for upcoming performance locations.

◊ Roots, Renaissance, Revolution!
June 19, 2009

I told Anne that while I am flattered to be seen as a "revolutionary" it would be more accurate and less pompous if I said simply that I am a survivor working with every tool I have to make work, maintain an organization (will we always be a dance company?) and stay in touch with that impulse that lead me to this life in the first place.
