Congratulations!!!

 

2025 Annual FEAR NO ART (April 25 and 26th)

 

 

CASTING

 

WOW! What an amazing Audition/Submission turnout. The following is the casting for the 2025 Fear No Art Festival. Thanks to all who attended. There are many factors that go into casting. If you were not cast in this production, please come back and audition for another show in the fall or next spring’s Fear No Art festival. Feel free to contact me if you would like more personal feedback.  

 

Please read carefully and respond appropriately.

 

Please confirm your participation in each activity you were cast in, the spelling of your name, and your preferred pronouns by sending an email to me at valpert@clcillinois.edu by the end of the day, Monday, Feb 3rd. We are starting rehearsals this week. If you are not comfortable with a dance that you have been cast in, please let me know immediately. No worries.

 

If I don’t hear back from individuals in a timely manner, then I have no choice but to replace their role.  

 

I apologize for any misspelled names.

2024 Winter Dance Concert (The Gathering)

Casting

 

The following is the casting for the 2024 Winter Dance Performance. Thanks to all who attended. There are many complicated factors that go into casting any given show. If you were not cast in this production, please don’t let it discourage you from auditioning in the future. We present a show each semester so please come back and audition in late January for our Spring Fear No Art production. I also encourage everyone interested in dancing, to sign up for a dance class. 

 

Please read carefully:

 

1)        Rehearsals begin the week of Sept 9th

2)        I still have a few small solo parts to cast and will be following up with cast members based on availability and time.

3)        If you want to earn college credit for participating in the show, please let me know.

4)        Review the cast list for your name. [Note days, times and rooms.] Some rooms are still being determined and I will follow up with rooms updates later.

5)        Email me at valpert@clcillinois.edu no later than Thursday, September 5th confirming or rejecting your participation in each dance that you are cast in.

a)         Please do not say “I am confirming all.” Be specific, like  I am confirming Tues with Valerie at 11:30-1 pm and Sat with Ivan from 11:20-12:30. 

b)        Please let me know how you want your name to appear in the Playbill. [Also, let me know if you have preferred pronouns.]

c)        I will be adding your email to a group contact list to follow up with information, so please use an email that you check often. 

6)        If I do not receive an email by the deadline, I will assume that you have dropped out of the show, but I always prefer a courtesy communication email.
