Video Requirements:
You will need to share four different examples of your dancing through the following steps. You will video-record yourself through four different aspects of your dancing: 1. A ballet phrase (we provide the phrase, see below). Learn and record yourself dancing the ballet phrase (you can use music from the second ballet video): Ballet Phrase (Explanation): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yOzlFMatNv8 Ballet Phrase (Music): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DlPGpdsBqsA 2. A modern/contemporary phrase (we provide the phrase, see below). Learn and record yourself dancing the modern/contemporary phrase (you can use your own music or dance in silence). Contemporary Phrase: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=76Xda7IpcvA 3. An improvisational practice (we provide prompts and you share your reactions to the prompts, see below). Watch the improvisational video from the beginning to end to understand the prompts and see the students’ practices. Afterwards, play the video again, recording yourself doing YOUR version of the improvisational practices when the students in the video are dancing and the music is playing. Improvisation: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m7XsTByvlhQ 4. A one- to two-minute, self-choreographed solo. Record yourself performing your selfchoreographed solo. NOTE: Your solo is welcome to be in any dance form and possess any style, ideas, etc. that you would like to share. There isn’t an expectation that the solo is in the modern/contemporary dance form, but we hope it will be a choreographic expression that you are excited to share with us. Please upload your videos to YouTube or Vimeo, and remember to double-check your links. (You can also submit one link that has all four excerpts combined in full.) If password protected, please provide your password. Links to Google Drive will not be accepted. Submit your audition video links on the Modern Dance BFA Audition Application and select “Video Audition” for “Please select the audition you plan to attend”. Audition Application can be found: https://uofudance.formstack.com/forms/modernbfa.
