Available: September 1, 2024 Deadline: December 11, 2024 All applicants will submit a video prescreen audition. Select applicants may be invited to attend an in-person or virtual callback audition. Applicants prepare a personal introduction video and two movement samples. Each video will be approximately one-minute in length. Personal introduction video: Share your name and hometown, then explain why you are pursuing a degree in dance and what draws you to UT Austin’s program specifically. Movement sample 1: This video should show your capacity in your favorite genre of dance. Excerpts can be choreographed, self-choreographed or improvised. If ballet is one of the selected genres, please show center work (no barre). Movement sample 2: Demonstrate your capacity for creative risk-taking. You could explore a dance form that is unfamiliar to you or perform a familiar dance form in an innovative way. If you have not choreographed before, you might choreograph your own movement, or if you have not improvised before, you might explore improvisation. The important thing is to move outside of your comfort zone. Applicants will also be asked to upload a headshot. NOTE: headshot does not have to be a professional headshot. It can be a clear image taken on your mobile device. Applicants will also be required to respond to several short written prompts.Updated: Sept. 16, 2024
