I (Alys Ayumi Ogura) am looking for 2 – 4 dancers/movers for a short performance piece (6-7 minutes) that I will be presenting at an upcoming outdoor dance festival in Minneapolis on July 18 and 19, 2025 (Friday and Saturday evenings).

I will be hosting movement workshops/soft auditions from 3 – 5 p.m., Sunday June 2. If you are interested or have any questions, please complete this form. Or send me an email at alys.a.wonderland@gmail.com with the subject line, “Summer Train 2025!”

Workshop/Audition Location: Studio 5, Ballet Co.Laboratory

Some details about the project:

• Rehearsals: Once or twice per week, probably starting June 6. (One evening each week and either Friday or Sunday afternoon, to be finalized later.)
• Stipend: $300

Ideal candidates are responsible, comfortable with improvisation and weight-sharing, and open to new ideas and collaboration. We’ll rehearse and perform outdoors on grass, which means being prepared for bugs, sun, heat, etc.
