Adelaide's Acclaimed and highly awarded
Australian Dance Theatre (ADT) is seeking dancers for full time
and/or contract positions with the company for 2007/08.
Calling for mature, charismatic professional
dancers with a strong classical and contemporary training, ADT is
ready to work on an amazing 07/08 program after the success of 2006's
Devolution.
Candidates must have considerable performance
experience with exposure to other physical disciplines such as gymnastics,
Ashtunga yoga and breakdance an advantage, but not essential.

Presenting 68 shows in 11 venues
across 7 countries in 2004/2005, the company toured Europe
last year and launched the world premiere season of Devolution,
a work that has seen the company honoured with two Helpmann
Awards and an Australian Dance Award!
Garry Strewart has developed many
unique new works for ADT. These include Housedance,
Birdbrain, the multi-award winning The Age of Unbeauty,
Nothing, the unforgettable HELD and Devolution.
Like Devolution, HELD too was an outstanding success
in its debut season back in 2004 and has since won six national
awards!
Formed in 1965, ADT undertakes
groundbreaking and exciting choreography that challenges physical
limits and audience perceptions. Works are fast, powerful,
risky and technically strenuous, with amazing results.
This requires a team of dedicated and physically strong dancers
with skills not developed by typical traditional training.
Therefore dancers must be willing to learn a specific training
program designed by the company that will teach them the particular
skills required for Garry's intense choreography.
