Audition Form-The Wedding Singer, Lost Girl, Luna Goes to Mars (ArtsReach Tour)

Statement of Academic Commitment

First and foremost, you are here to get a degree, so your academics must come first. You should not be neglecting your classes just because you are performing in or working as an ASM, SM, Choreographer, Director, AD, Designer/Asst Designer or TA in department productions. If you have a GPA lower than 2.5 at the time of auditions, you will not be considered for casting or production assignments. Instead, you should devote what would be rehearsal time to bringing up your grades and keeping up with your studies. Your health and wellbeing are of the utmost importance, and while we are here to aid your growth as artists, it is our main responsibility to support you in prioritizing your classes. If you know that when you are involved in a performance process you struggle turning assignments in on time but have a GPA higher than a 2.5, you should seriously consider voluntarily removing yourself from productions this semester so that you may concentrate on your academics. If you decide to audition and are cast but then your grades start to slip, if a director asks, you must provide a current update of grades. Our goal is to help make sure you are successful as students, so if you are falling behind in classes, the director may recommend you either step out temporarily to catch up or, if you are struggling in multiple classes, withdraw from the production.
Conflicts that are added AFTER casting may not be able to be honored.

(note that the ensemble may witness some of these moments): Wendy and Boy (pp. 30-32): hold hands, stand close, lay down together probably embracing, Boy kisses her head, Wendy tries to kiss his lips, he moves away. Slightly and Wendy (p. 45): Slightly grabs Wendy’s face, draws hand across her forehead and/or hair, holds face for “a moment longer than he should”. Wendy and Slightly (pp. 70-71): Wendy grabs Slightly and kisses him on the lips, he kisses her back (passionately, described as “Boy, does he kiss her back. They kiss for a long, long time”), they stop, looking each other in close proximity. Wendy and Peter (pp. 81-82): They stand close, looking at each other, Wendy touches Peter’s face, Peter touches Wendy’s face and hair, they kiss on the lips, Wendy pulls back abruptly and looks at Peter. Other ensemble intimacy will be determined through boundaries practice and mutual consent of all involved. All intimacy will be choreographed.

VIDEO REQUIREMENTS

Students should record their audition package in a single take, not multiple shots. All auditions should start with a slate (state your name, the title of the show your monologue is from and the title of the show your song is from). Students can perform EITHER song or monologue first and just take a short moment in between the two. They do not need to slate between their two pieces. Accompaniment should be pre-recorded and play along in the background of your video. Plan to shoot from the waist up and upload your file to YouTube. Please listen to your video and make sure the sound is balanced (need to hear you AND your music clearly). Files should be uploaded to YouTube and shared as a private video with comments disabled. The only people who should be able to see your video are the people who have the link (test that out by sending it to someone you trust and make sure they can access it). Make sure anyone with the link has permission to view the video
