Hi & Welcome to the registration form for FCD Spring Auditions!
Note: Due to an unforeseen scheduling conflict, the FCD Rep Project and Shakia Barron’s Rep piece for the SC Faculty Concert are on two different dates. Shakia Barron’s audition will now be on Saturday, April 20 at Smith College, Berenson Cook. The FCD Rep Project auditions will remain on Monday, April 29 at Smith College, Scott Studio. Please see the updated schedule below. (Info on this page was updated April 9, 2024.)
We will be auditioning two pieces: next Fall's FCD Rep Project is Bill T. Jones / Arnie Zane Company's Spent Days Out Yonder (2000) with Professor Jenna Riegel, which will be double cast and performed at all three faculty concerts, and Professor Shakia Barron's rep work for the SC Faculty Concert. For more information about Spent Days Out Yonder, rehearsing at Amherst College, please see the FCD announcements webpage. Professor Barron's rep will be an intermediate level hip hop and house work. Rehearsals will be held at Smith College. For more info, shakia@mtholyoke.edu.
