We haven’t time to bask in the glow of our school show, Swan Lake: the American Repertory Ballet Workshop Juniors audition is just around the corner! We invite you to come audition for the opportunity to join this special group of dancers who comprise ARBW Jr, our entry level performing company. Our aim is the refinement of technique as it pertains to performing and the acculturation of young dancers in the performing life of the profession. We have two seasons, fall and spring and, to help keep you from being over-committed, you may opt to choose one or the other. You do get the most benefit from the experience by choosing both. Do you have a bat mitzvah in the fall? Participate in our spring session. A confirmation (school musical; concerto competition; family commitments) in the spring? Participate in the fall. Most of the ARBW Jr dancers who performed with our professional company, American Repertory Ballet, in its 2015 production of the Nutcracker, found that the experience gave them enough of a taste of the rehearsal/performing life--and improved their technique to such an extent--that they opted for the spring session as well. During Nutcracker, they toured throughout New Jersey in six (6) venues during November and December, each dancer performing in many of the twenty-two shows. Four of those shows offered them the all too rare experience of dancing with an orchestra. Other rehearsal and performance opportunities include Summer Repertory Week leading to the Cranbury Day festival; the annual gala; and the school show. In short, you get to be a better dancer by--dancing! The Audition Time and place: The ARBW Jr audition for the 2016–17 performance season is Wednesday, June 22, 2016 from 6:00 p.m.–8:00 p.m. in the Robertson Studio at our main location at 301 N. Harrison St., Princeton, N.J.. Arrive by 5:45 to sign in. Audition fee: $25.00 Eligibility: You must be a registered student at Princeton Ballet School, accepted into one of the following levels: • Student 4 or 4+ • Student 5 or 5+ Note: 2015–2016 ARBW Jr Student 5 or 5+ dancers need not audition again, regardless of their placement for 2016– 2017. 2015–2016 ARBW Jr Student 4/4+ dancers must audition for the coming season Clothing: a simple classroom leotard, tights, and technique shoes. Young ladies bring pointe shoes with you. If you are intrigued by the opportunity to see where all your dedicated classwork may take you, come audition on June 22.

Brewer archive article, added 10/10/2007 Though the weather belied it, signs of fall are everywhere on the East End and beyond! Harvest festivals, sidewalk sales, and pumpkin and apple picking abound in our villages and hamlets. No surer sign of fall are the many fabulous fetes that kicked off the season. Here’s a little sampling of the wonderful happenings we peeked in on around the area this week. Friday evening art lovers were given a special treat with the Preview Party for the Artists Alliance of East Hampton’s annual fall Studio Tour at East Hampton’s wonderful Walk Tall Gallery. Both events were a resounding success with an enthusiastic attendance of tour-goers and artists alike. Walk Tall Gallery owner Wendy Wachtel told us, "This show and the studio tour reinforce the area's reputation as an artistic wealth of talent."
