AUDITION QUORUM PROJECT 2025-2027

The Quorum Project is a course certified with ECTS (European Credits Transfer System) by the Escola Superior de Dança (ESD).

Its main goal is to encourage and train students with a natural aptitude for dance and ambitions towards professionalization. The technical subjects taught enable students to work and develop their technical and artistic skills, as well as to gain performance experience. In addition to the technical classes, students will engage in work developed by guest choreographers, allowing them to experience different styles and movement approaches, which are showcased in performances presented in various theaters across the country. Students will also have the opportunity to learn choreography repertoire from Quorum Dance Company. The course also includes theoretical subjects such as Production for Performance, Dance History, Lighting, and Sound Design.

The Quorum Project operates as a pre-professional company, with attendance and commitment levels expected from its participants, while also offering the possibility of touring and presenting works specifically created for this young company. Students also have the opportunity to participate as trainee dancers in productions by Quorum Dance Company.

RECIPIENTS: The audition is open to dancers who have already completed year 12 or are finishing this year.
