Selected dancers will be asked to stay from 5-8pm for a workshop with LEVYdance

LEVYdance seeks 3-5 highly skilled professional dancers, both male and female, for Company Artist positions for the 2012-2013 touring season. Applicants should have a strong foundation in both ballet and contemporary techniques, as well as a distinctly personal style and aesthetic. Individuals will be asked to work in a highly collaborative setting and must be open to bringing themselves personally into the choreographic process. Year-long contract includes part-time rehearsal and performance pay, tour per diem, and travel expenses.

2012-13 engagements include two San Francisco Home Seasons, a collaboration with NY choreographer Sidra Bell, and an east coast tour. Dancers are highly encouraged to learn more about LEVYdance and view repertory online (www.levydance.org/presenter.html) before auditioning.

LEVYdance ignites its audiences' awareness of a shared human experience through the art of dance. LEVYdance was founded in 2002 in San Francisco by Benjamin Levy, and has presented original works at prestigious venues nationally and internationally. Beyond performing in traditional venues, LEVYdance also creates innovative installation works that redefine the relationship between performer and audience. Among LEVYdance's collaborators are Kronos Quartet, The Los Angeles Philharmonic, Mason Bates, and French couture designer Colleen Quen.

The culture and creative process of LEVYdance are founded on collaboration, integrity, courage, and excellence. The company places great emphasis on the personal investment and voice of its company artists, whose contributions are largely reflected in the work. The creative process always involves an investigation of self through physical and emotional risk-taking that is playful, intimate, and ultimately transformative.
