Auditions

Our plans for the 4th and 6th of March didn't work out as no one could make it on that day, so we held our skype auditions first on the 12th and then held our other audition on the 13th. During the skype auditions we were speaking to two people, called Caldonia and Amelia. We interviewed Amelia first, and we really liked her attitude towards our project and she seemed to really understand what we wanted. After speaking with Caldonia, we also really liked her, she was nice and she understood what we required from the project as well. We also looked at their show reels and were very impressed with the quality of movement that both of them created.

The next day we then also audition Daisy Tait in person, I was looking forward to auditioning a dancer in person mainly because I had never done it before, and so it would give me the experience of auditioning someone from a medium I have not had much experience with. We liked Daisy and some of the material she gave us was really nice. We asked her if we could film her and gave her the footage afterwards.

In the end we decided to go for Amelia, as we really liked her quality of movement and the way she spoke about out project. We immediately clicked with her and felt that we could have a really good working relationship. At this point we had to change our shoot date to the 20th due to unforeseen circumstances, and this worked out better for her anyway. We arranged a rehearsal on the 16th to work out how we wanted to shoot the piece with her and to generate something really good with her. We agreed to pay her expenses and food etc.
