FALL AUDITIONS

Auditions in the Fall Quarter are for most department productions. Roles remaining after the Fall Audition are cast by the show director on an “as needed” basis with auditions by appointment. See the Season Announcement flyer for director names. Senior Theatre projects are auditioned in the Winter Quarter, so watch the Callboard for an announcement.

Register for a production course, as specified by a director, by the day after casting is posted.

If you want to be considered for Stage Manager, see the director or department Chair during the first week of classes.

2012–13 Dance Program Auditions

The Dance Program at CSUEB has a wide range of class and production offerings for people at all stages of experience with dance. Whether you've been training for many years or have never taken a single dance class, please come meet the CSUEB dance community and find out what's happening this year at one or all of these Dance Auditions.

Serious dancers of all styles and backgrounds wanted! Come ready to warm up, learn a brief contemporary dance combination, and to show us some of your own style (60-90 seconds of either freestyle or choreography.) Dancers will be placed based on technical skill, creativity and performance quality. Dance Ensemble Company performs on campus at Preview Day and ICE (our December dance showcase) among other events. Touring Company performs off campus at select venues. All dancers cast must register for DANC 3454, and must be available to work outside of class on individual assignments and rehearsals.

The Inclusive Interdisciplinary Ensemble (IIE) is a group of students, community members and professional performers under the direction of dance professor Eric Kupers, dedicated to creating high quality, contemporary performance that is accessible to people of all sizes, shapes, abilities/disabilities, ages, cultural backgrounds and experience levels. This year we are creating an original dance/theater musical and are looking for performers interested in movement, playing music, singing, acting and experimenting with interactive sculptures.
