Audition:
Dell'Arte International is a school of devised physical theatre, therefore we want to see your ability to make an original piece of work that includes these elements in any order you like:
- A song
- At least one phrase of 10 movements that travel from one point to another and back

We value the transformative actor and the principles of rhythm and pace, volume and dimension, time and timing, duration and weight, line of force, contrast, interruption, and discovery.
- Please do not stand and tell us your life story, incorporate it into your piece with the other elements
- If you submit a video, shoot it without cuts. Camara movments are fine (zoom, pan, dolly, etc.)
