Spring 2025 Barnard/Columbia Dances at Miller Theatre

In Spring 2025, the Department of Dance will present a concert of new works by illustrious faculty and guest artists presented at Miller Theatre.

Auditions are open to Barnard and Columbia students

Department Audition Policy & Guidelines

  • Students may audition for multiple works, but will be cast in only one, as determined by the Department in consultation with the guest artists and often with input from the student.
  • Do not audition if you have a known conflict with the rehearsal schedule or cannot otherwise participate in the rehearsal and performance process.
  • For the sake of inclusivity and equity to all students and guest artists, we ask that at the end of each audition, you either affirm or withdraw your name from casting consideration.  By affirming, you attest to your willingness and ability to participate and if cast, to register for Rehearsal & Performance in Dance (DNCE  BC3603) a credit-bearing course (1-3 pts.), and in some instances, a related technique class.
  • Withdrawing from a piece after final casting notification negatively impacts the casting process and may mean forfeiting the opportunity to participate in future Department concerts.
  • Student cast members must be available for all weekly rehearsals, as well as spacing, technical, and dress rehearsals during the evenings of production week.
  • Students must comply with all current health and safety guidelines.

Performances are currently scheduled for April 25 and April 26, 2025 at Miller Theatre.
