SJM Resorts and the Hong Kong Ballet will host an open audition in Macau and Hong Kong for their new residency “The Adventures of ALICE @ Grand Lisboa Palace Resort Macau”, a collaboration set to debut in April.
According to a Friday statement from the integrated resort (IR) operator, the auditions, for which application requirements must be emailed before Thursday, is slated to take place this Saturday from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. at the Rehearsal Studio of the Macao Conservatory School of Dance. Auditions are also scheduled at Studio 6 of The Hong Kong Academy for Performing Arts the following day.
The statement noted that the upcoming residency at Grand Lisboa Palace (GLP) is inspired by ALICE (in wonderland), a show that has delighted audiences in Beijing, Hong Kong and the US. It was choreographed by Hong Kong Ballet Artistic Director Septime Webre, who will also be mentoring participants together with ballet masters, the statement said.
The statement said that production will take place on the integrated resort’s state-of-the-art 360-degree stage at the Atrium, complete with advanced lighting, sound, and projection technology, purpose-built for the show.
Rehearsals for the show are set to start as early as March, leading up to its debut. The shows will take place at weekends and public holidays, the statement said. Moreover, a parade, “whimsical performances”, and workshops are also on offer.
Those eligible are male or female dancers aged at least 18 and are required to have “strong classical and contemporary training or experience”. Application requirements are a video showing performances in classical and contemporary ballet, an English or Chinese resume, one headshot and additional dance shots, and a registration on the SJM Job Career website.
