THE STORY

Co-directed by Scott Potter and Ali Odlin, Vivid Motion Dance’s spring show tells the tale of Grania “Grace” O’ Malley (Gráinne Ní Mháille), a woman born from a seafaring western Irish clan who becomes the most feared chieftain and pirate captain of the Irish seas. Family, friends, and foes alike ebb and flow with the tides that she sails—all while she and her people fall under the lengthening shadow of the English Empire. Grania eventually comes face to face with the formidable Queen Elizabeth, her greatest rival… and perhaps the only person who could understand her.

The Audition Process

Vivid Motion auditions are held in class format, which includes a short warm up, dance combinations, and acting exercises. We know auditions can be stressful, but no formal dance training is required to try out for Vivid Motion shows. Even the most trained dancers struggle through combinations sometimes. A positive attitude and willingness to try count for a lot. *Take a breath, try your best, and (most of all) HAVE FUN!*

Want some pointers? Please wear your hair out of your face, clothes you can move in that are not too baggy. (Leggings or shorts, and a t-shirt work). If you have dance shoes, great. If you don’t, socks or bare feet are ok. It’s a good idea to bring a water bottle and to dress in layers so you don’t get too hot or too cold. Most importantly, remember to HAVE FUN while trying your best. If you’re nervous - take a breath (we’re almost all nervous!). Join us for classes; learn some of our dance vocabulary and get to know others in our community ~ we’re nice people who love to dance (:
