HAMMOND – Southeastern Louisiana University’s resident student dance company, Dance
Performance Project, will hold auditions Tuesday, April 12, for an upcoming dance
concert.
Called “Bayourella: A Story of Forgiveness,” the fall event will be directed
by Dance Instructor Skip Costa. Selected choreographers are Joe Matherne of Baton
Rouge, Lindsy Brown of El Paso, Texas, Lily Marcus of Denham Springs, Haley Jordan
of Baton Rouge, Forrest Duplantier of Covington, and Courtney Self of Conway, Ark.
“Auditions are open to all Southeastern students,” Costa said. “Students attending
the audition will be taught several short movement phrases.”
Auditions are scheduled from 2 to 3 p.m. in the dance studio in the Kinesiology
and Health Studies Building. Costa said students should wear something that shows
their form, especially on the upper body torso, and should arrive by 1:30 p.m. to
complete an audition form and for warm ups.
If invited to perform, Costa said, students must register for one of the following
dance courses: DNC 300-01, Contemporary Dance (DNC 230 or 330) or Ballet Technique
(DNC 140 or 240), and attend two rehearsals per week.
