4:00pm Birthday Celebration

7:00pm Black & White Gala

A-WOL is holding auditions for the company's 2024 season. We are seeking movers that prioritize the following skills in addition to aerial: group performance experience, movement arts such as dance and acrobatics and any other theater or performance skills you might bring. We place value on performers that love working in collaborative group settings, enjoy the choreography and creative process and are eager to be part of a large scale project with future opportunities. Commitment to the season includes a role in Art in the Dark 2024 in late July/early August. 

Pre Registration is required. Register HERE.

Bring a headshot and resume. Audition will include dance choreography and aerial skill assessment. Be prepared for a possible callback to perform an aerial act of artist's choice. 

Doors and stretching area open at 9:30am. Audition begins at 10:00am.

Aeros Auditions will take place on Sat August 12, 10am-12pm, at the AWOL Warehouse. The warehouse is at 513 NE Schuyler St. The front door is automatically locked for safety purposes but when you arrive there will be someone at the door to let you in. Don't be late!

AUDITION PROCESS:

First, you will need to create or use your AWOL MindBody account to register, similar to regular class and camp registration. You'll find the MindBody website HERE. Click the small calendar on the ride side of the screen, navigate to August 13th, and you'll see a button under Saturday to "Sign up now" for the auditions. If you have other MindBody issues you can email our operations manager at operations@awoldance.org.

Second, as a part of the audition process, please fill out this Google form *prior to the audition day*. Google Form: Aeros Auditions '23  
If you're unable to access it, there will be hard copies at AWOL; come early to fill it out.

and lastly, Audition Day!: After a group warm-up, there will be dance, tumbling, theatre, and aerial segments. Please bring a water bottle and wear fitted athletic attire (no zippers & midriff covered) with the hair pinned away from the face. We will start promptly at 10am, so plan to be there 15-20 mins early to check in, pin on a number, and get settled.

Join us for a fun, casual, community event! Instructor Rachel Belling will be sharing her favorite stretching routine that can be completed almost entirely while laying down and watching a movie.
We will start with 20 minutes of warm-up, then you can go grab a glass of wine (or tea) and a snack while we get set up to have a long and lazy stretch session to Midnight in Paris!

Perfect to learn for your own at-home stretching needs. Come in your most comfy clothes, and be prepared to enjoy a movie while you stretch.
Students should plan to bring the following supplies, if able: a pillow to prop up their head, ankle weights, and a foam roller (bring extras to share if you’re able)

A beverage and snack will be provided.  Feel free to bring anything additional you may want!

Age 18+

A-WOL PRESENTS:

LEFT OF CENTER

Levity Circus Collective

280 E Hersey Street #15 Ashland, OR 97520 

Presented for two nights only at Levity Circus Collective, Left of Center combines aerial arts and dance to weave a fantastical tale suspended between reverie and reality. Floating sleepers, trickster marionettes and lost travelers inhabit an alternate realm where furniture takes wing and dolls scheme in the shadows. Immersed in a dream-like theater setting, a haunting sound design, and costumes evocative of Victorian-era fairytales, audiences are enveloped in a dream state free of the limitations of the waking world. By turns wicked and whimsical, Left of Center appeals to daydreamers of all ages.

Doors at 7:30pm Show at 8pm

SEATING and pre-show concert OPENS AT 7:30PM (+ CONCESSIONS)

SHOW BEGINS AT DARK (~8:30 OR 8:45PM)

Under the Trees at Mary S Young Park, West Linn, OR Located on Hwy 43 (2 miles north of I-205, Exit 8 or 2 miles south of Marylhurst Univ)

Suspended in trees, surrounded by beauty and illuminated by the stars... This year's show, By the Light of a Different Moon is a show about the giving of light in a world separate from our own; where Moon Queens dictate, Wanderers emerge, the Veiled welcome strange beings, the Watch is on guard and the Peacekeepers bring everyone together. Set to a commissioned soundtrack played live by Dirty Elegance, experience an evening of aerial theater as life of another kind teaches us what it means to love, accept and find meaning from the light of a different moon.  As always, this production is packed full of traditional and invented aerial apparatus, athletic and technical dance movement and acrobatics. 

Live Music: Dirty Elegance playing a pre-show concert as well as a full live performance throughout the entire show. 

A-WOL's Art in the Dark annual performance is a fantastical, illuminated, full-length, evening production set in a unique and rare outdoor theater style setting.  Transforming a dirt plot into a performance spot, each show is packed with the flavor of the Northwest and a wonderful taste of the talent this area has to offer!   Come see why A-WOL grabbed the attention of OPB's "Oregon Art Beat" during the 2012 season! Last year's show sold out entirely - get your ticket early.

Art in the Dark is enjoyed by all ages.

Polaris Dance Theatre presents Groovin’ Greenhouse, a series of world premiere dance works. Polaris, along with guest dance companies from every corner of Portland, are working with established and emerging Portland choreographers to present brand new dance works in the Polaris Studio Theatre. This evening features Polaris Dance Theatre with a world premiere by Artistic Director and resident Choreographer Robert Guitron. Guitron and his company play with innovative illumination and shadow, themes of love, loss and loneliness and grapple with identifying the mix of gifts from others that make us who we are. From full cast to intimate duet, this diverse company pulls at heartstrings and demands its audience members to think in a different way. Joining Polaris this evening is also A-WOL Dance Collective. A-WOL will perform a new work titled Emergence, the process of coming into view or becoming exposed after being concealed. This innovative new piece will incorporate aerial silks and ropes.
