For this week’s project I
teamed up with Alayna Acosta and Lisa Meek to create a video demonstrating
through new media the three ways to audition for a ballet company. The first
way is to audition live where all the dancers stand at the barre and take class doing exercises that
the instructor gives. The school or company that you are auditioning for will
evaluate you and chose to accept you or not during that live audition. The
second way to audition for a company is to send a video of yourself doing barre
and center combinations. This way is helpful if you are unable to attend the live
audition and is still an excellent way for the ballet instructors to see you as
a dancer. A third way to audition is to record yourself dancing a classical
variation that in order to show your strengths to ballet companies. Either way
of auditioning is acceptable, and through new media dancers have advantages to
get into their chose of company.
Overall, collaborating with
Alayna and Lisa worked nicely and smoothly. We planned earlier in the week how
to create the video and when would be a good time for all of us. In the middle
of the week we all met and recorded the audition video. We developed combinations
together to dance in the video and talked about who would do which parts of the
video. We recorded our dancing on a laptop with music playing and then edited the
video to add descriptions throughout the video. Throughout the process of this
project I learned more about audition videos and it will help me better prepare
for a future audition video I will have to make when I audition for companies.
Here is the link to the video. Enjoy!
