Hofesh Shechter Company Audition - Shechter II - Internationally Based Dancers
Following the phenomenal success of Shechter II in 2018, Hofesh Shechter Company launches a global search for the next generation of outstanding dancers, at the start of their careers, to join our 2020 programme. In 2018 Shechter II toured for 24 weeks and was awarded the Prix de la Critique award for Best Performers for SHOW at Théâtre des Abbesses, Paris.
Shechter II, our award-winning apprentice touring company, provides an 11 month unique paid training and performance programme for 18-25 year olds to develop their skills as professional dancers within a supportive environment.
Under the direction of renowned choreographer Hofesh Shechter and his artistic team you will gain individual insight into Hofesh's distinctive choreographic style, advance your experience by working within an acclaimed national and international touring company, inspire young dancers worldwide and through our mentoring, feedback and training programme, enhance your own creativity as a dance artist.
"the apprenticeship influenced me not only as a dancer but as a person in the way I think, observe, perceive and understand my environment. I feel more equipped as a performer, as a mover for the future. I have more clarity, confidence, and understanding of what my body and mind can do" Natalia Gabrielczyk - Shechter II 2018
