Xeno Performance Group is holding 2 days of categorized but open auditions to fill one or two new spots in the ensemble for the collaborative creation and performance of the group's new seasonal show (opening for a minimum of six weeks starting this May as part of ArtSFest2006.)
If cast, auditioners should be prepared to rehearse 2-3 times a week until the show opens and 1-2 times a week afterwards. Rehearsals, in general, take place on Tuesdays & Thursdays from 6:30pm - 9:30pm and Sundays from 11am-2pm (although Sunday rehearsals may or may not continue). All casting is for this season's show only, with the possibility of further collaboration and company membership.
AUDITIONS:
- The auditions on Saturday, February 4th will be devoted only to MALE DANCER/PERFORMERS.
- The auditions on Sunday, February 5th will be open to ALL interested auditioners from any discipline, although priority for spots will be given to FEMALE SINGER/PERFORMERS.
- The auditions are first-come-first-served. There will be a sign-up sheet in the gallery space where you enter the building.
- All dance auditoners will be asked to integrate and present taught passages of movement and they may, if they wish and time permits, present any pre-prepared short acts of their own of 5 minutes or less of movement, poetry, monologue, song or other special talent.
- Emphasis will be placed on BREADTH as well as DEPTH of ability. Any experience in the following realms will be helpful: ballet, modern, African, hip hop, freestyle, jazz, tap, gymnastics, acro, trapeze, tissu, spanish web, aerial dance, capoeira, diving, stunts, belly dance, stage combat, butoh, costume/fashion design & construction, wall & rock climbing, skating, stilting, unicycling, juggling, fire dance, stand-up comedy, martial arts, yoga, Pilates, clowning, escape/illusion, carpentry, welding, acting, writing, directing, videography, graphic design, any musical talents, etc, etc, etc.
A word or two about Xeno:
Springing from their earliest collaborations as the performance band AWD (1996-2000), the members of Xeno have spent these last nine years together creating their own hybrid style of performance. Xeno's ongoing creation has secured its place as one of San Francisco’s most innovative and beloved companies. The composition of the show spans many disparate artforms, media, moods, styles, genres and flavors and is difficult to encapsulate for those who have not yet experienced a live Xeno show.

A word or two about compensation:
Xeno currently offers no pay of any kind. While all possibilities are open for discussion, Xeno currently funnels ALL profits into the upkeep and rental of the creation warehouse known as Xenodrome. No members earn a salary. The future is open, but this is our current mode of operation.
