Instead of a formal audition, Inlet will hold a free two-day workshop for those interested in joining the Company or the Trainee & Apprentice Program for the 2026-2027 season. The workshop will include classes in Erick Hawkins-based release modern technique, Alison Chase/Pilobolus-based nontraditional partnering, and structured improvisation. Participants will also have the opportunity to learn selections from Inlet’s 25 years of repertory.
