Orchesis Dance Company is an on-campus dance ensemble composed completely of Texas State students of all majors and disciplines. In keeping with the artistic and individual values of the Texas State University Department of Theatre and Dance, Orchesis Dance Company seeks to foster artistic expression, facilitate a sense of comradery among dancers, and to provide students with an opportunity to share their passion for dance with family, friends, colleagues and members of the academic and fine arts communities.
Orchesis Dance Company
For the 2023-2024 season, we as the staff members want to use the time and resources given to us by the Dance Division to produce an honest and artistically sound of body. The choreographic styles of the Artistic Staff this year are immensely diverse; an aspect that we believe will allow us to work collaboratively and be successful. We wish to use our time and resources to provide a space for dancers to develop skills that they make take with them after the season ends. Furthermore, we have been working diligently to prepare for an amazing season with passionate and driven dancers.
Audition Information
Orchesis is open to all Texas State students. Please arrive at least 15 minutes early to check-in and warm-up. Dancers are not required to be Dance Majors. However, we do ask that dancers have some form of dance training and/or performance experience.
We encourage all dancers to come to the workshops which will be held on September 7th and 14th, in Jowers Studio B175. These workshops will be held from 6:30-8:30pm and we will be teaching a combination similar to what auditions will look like. We as staff will also be available 30 minutes after to answer questions or concerns in regard to auditions or the company.
