Audition Notice
“A Thing of Beauty” K2CO is touring a double bill of beautiful and thrilling dance in 2025. K2CO are looking for one exceptional female dancer to join the cast of ‘Fantasia’.
Fantasia is a work of pure dance with three brilliant female dancers to the music of Vivaldi, J.S Bach, Beethoven, Vaughn Williams and many other classical composers. Rosie Kay flexes her choreographic muscles, creating an evening’s entertainment of pure joy, physicality, deep emotion and cheeky humour.
Nominated as the BEST Dance of 2019 by The Guardian, with its flamboyant tutus, hassled catsuits and naughty see-through gowns, this work is beautiful contemporary dance and music at its finest. Expect to leave the theatre with the desire to dance! Designed in three parts this beautiful 45-minute work takes us on a journey of music, delight and fantasy.
★★★★ “utterly irresistible” Financial Times
★★★★ “It’s a winning combination, cartoonishly full of skill, verve and vitality, and tickling your senses of both humour and wonder.” The Guardian
★★★★★ “a pleasure to behold” Behind the Arras
