For the second part of our series on the Boston Dance Alliance's Open Call Audition, Marissa Molinar introduced me to Michelle Kim from enigmatic Contemporary Dance Company. enigmatic will be one of more than 20 companies looking for new dancers this Sunday, September 19th from 11AM - 5PM at Brookline High School.
karen Krolak: I have never heard of enigmatic Contemporary Dance Company. Is this a new company?
Michelle Kim: Heather Emley and I started enigmatic Contemporary Dance during the summer of 2009. Our inaugural performance, called Arise and Be, will be on November 5 and 6 at 8 pm at Green Street Studios.
kK: Congratulations, that first concert is always such a great milestone. Were you at last year's Open Call Audition?
MK: We were at the 2009 Open Call Auditions and found our dancers, Ashleigh Buckley, Kara DelGrosso and Kat DelGrosso, there! We will be there this September as well to find more dancers for our spring show.
kK: Wow, that is fabulous that you found three dancers from it. Did you start working with them right away or did you hold a secondary audition of your own?
MK: We held separate auditions after the Open Call Auditions to see how our choices fit with our genre.
kK: So how many dancers are you hoping to find this year?
kK: So how many dancers are you hoping to find this year?
MK: We are hoping to find around 5 more dancers to join our company.
kK: And, if dancers are specifically interested in auditioning for enigmatic, which sections will you be watching at the Open Call?
MK: We will be attending every section except Improv and we are looking for athletic dancers that are strong in more than one genre as we incorporate many different genres within our pieces.
Check back tomorrow to meet Melinda Sullivan who is hoping to find some dancers for the Boston Early Music Festival.
