AUDITION CALL

Karma Dance (Mental Health & Trauma) CIC invites highly skilled, expressive dance artists to join the company’s evolving repertory for a powerful new work exploring mental health and domestic violence — issues that shape and fracture our current society.

We are seeking performers with strong technique, emotional depth, and creative generosity, confident in working with movement, spoken text, and sensitive subject matter. The production includes scenes with partial nudity, approached in a respectful and professional environment. Individual comfort levels will be prioritised, and creative alternatives such as stickies, hibues, or shibues may be used. No nudity will be required at the audition.

We are especially interested in artists who:

● Are confident engaging with challenging and sensitive themes

● Bring a bold, dynamic movement quality with strong contemporary or Ballet training

● Contribute actively to collaborative, interdisciplinary creation processes
