Rebecca Davis is looking for a group of about 20 women to play a supportive, yet important, role in her piece for the Studio Series at Dace Theater Workshop April 10 &11. The only requirements are that you have at least shoulder-length hair and that you can attend all of the rehearsal and performance dates (please note that the week of the performance is during Passover and Easter weekend.) There will be a section with head circles, so it may not be a good fit if you've had neck injuries. You're welcome to determine this on the first rehearsal, December 10th.

There is no pay, but after the performances are over, a workshop consisting of four Feldenkrais Awareness Through Movement classes will be taught to the group to thank you for your time, (probably four Sundays in a row, schedule TBD).

If interested, email Rebecca at: rld321@gmail.com

Schedule: All rehearsals are at Dance Theater Workshop; Wednesdays, December 10 from 6-7pm, January 7 & 21, February 4 & 18, March 4, 11, 18, 25 from 6-7pm; April 1st from 6-8pm

Wednesday, April 8th from 6-9pm (DRESS)

Friday and Saturday, April 10 & 11 (SHOWS) 6pm call for 8pm show.
