24.01.2022 It’s with a heavy heart the Committee of Phoenix Festival of Dance have made the very sensible decision to cancel our comp for 2020. We all know the risks of this Virus and know that all must be done to prevent any harm. We will be back on board for 2021 it’s to be our twenty years and will be planning a big celebration with lots of excitement. Keep healthy and to all our big family, take care. To those that have entered we will be sorting all that out in the coming few days, please don’t contact us, we won’t have any answers at the moment, rest assured there will be a refund. Here’s hoping we all pull through this safely. Love to you all.

21.01.2022 Thank you Lucy Nicholson for this great info. THE PERFECT AUDITION SONG "Is this song too musically hard for a pianist who has never seen it before? Are there excessive tempo/meter/key changes? Is the copy I’m using legible? Are the chords or the bottom piano staffs cut off/not visible on the copy I’m using? ... Is the musical information crystal-clear on the page (i.e. are my cuts marked correctly)? Does this song have musical impact? (By the way, musical impact doesn’t necessarily mean loud.) Is there a clear storytelling arc? Is the musical climax well-defined and does it occur at the right point in my cut? Am I showing vocal range (pitch, dynamics, texture)? Am I showing range as an actor (physicality, intention, communication)? Does the text of this song make sense out of context? Is there a universal theme being explored? Does this song correlate with the kinds of characters I want to play? Is this song too sad/angry/depressed to allow those in the room to connect with me? Is there a tangible action that the character who sings this song is taking? Can I imagine playing the lyric of this song from many perspectives? Is this song’s story too specific to be spun a different way? If a director asked me to play this song in different circumstances, would that be doable? Could I start at different points in the song with it still making sense? Can I think of more than one role for which this song would be a good audition choice? Does this song show off something I do well? Do I feel like I could roll out of bed at 6 a.m. and sing this song? Does this song feel like it fits me? Does my face feel relaxed when I sing this song? When I take a video of myself singing this piece, do I make it look easy? Is this song a story that I look forward to telling? Do I feel an emotional pull toward this lyric? When I listen to the music of this song without the text, do I still feel an emotional connection? Do I understand the character who is singing this song? Do I love this song? Do I know this entire piece, so I can make informed decisions about edits? Is my audition version the right length? Is it in the right key? Have I made the cuts that allow me to tell the story in the best way for me? Do I need to make any slight lyric or music changes to feel more comfortable?" See more
