Western to hold open auditions May 18 for summer show

Western Washington University’s Department of Theatre and Dance is looking for local dancers and actors to appear in its summer dance performance, “Conventicle of Curiosities.” The department is holding an open audition from 4 to 6 p.m. Friday, May 18, Performing Arts Center Room 16.

The audition is open to students and community members of all levels of ability.

“Conventicle of Curiosities” will feature new works by WWU Dance faculty Nolan Dennett and Penny Hutchinson, as well as a reconstruction of Dennett’s master work of the same title inspired by the photographic art of Robert Parke-Harrison. The original premiere of Dennett’s work was at the Dance Faculty Concert in April 2012. “Conventicle of Curiosities” will be performed for the public at 7:30 p.m. on July 26 and 27 in the Western Gallery.
