“The Audition” — choreographed by senior Catie Jamieson
January 5, 2023
CURTAIN CALLBACK: Junior Riya Roy, in character as the auditioner, reads from her clipboard as the eager “auditionees” wait with bated breath for their names to be called.
“Fallout” concludes with a fun, “musical theatre”-esque performance by Dance Theatre, where everyone auditions for a dance job, filled with jittery hope and anxious excitement. The scene truly comes to life as performers put on audition numbers and bring out their professional headshots in the hopes to catch the eye of their stoic auditioner. The emotion on their faces is what drives the dance forward—more than anything, it simply seemed like they were having fun—and maybe this joy is what truly made the entire audience smile as they clapped for the end of the show.
