While students who attend the in-person audition for John Keen's work on August 5 will have preference, video auditions of the student taking a modern dance class will be accepted. Mr. Keen is looking for technique and fluidity in movement, how students sustain movement as well as how they portray emotion. Video submissions should be emailed to Mr. Keen at keendancetheatre@gmail.com no later than August 4.
