Audition for Dancers & Singers for Get Out Alive by Nikki Lynette
The creative team is looking for two vibrant, inventive, and collaborative performers to complete this four-person cast. The music mixes influence from punk, hip hop, alternative rock, and trip hop, so performers should be confident singing and dancing in these different styles. Both performers need to be excellent dancers and singers who are comfortable with improvisation. Both characters are female-identifying, however performers of all gender expressions are welcome.
