Statement:

Avis d'audition is a programmed audition, presented as a performance.
The description in the theatre programme copies the audition call posted
in places frequented by dancers.
In the theatre, as an introduction, the administrative and financial
conditions proposed by the company les gens d'Uterpan are announced to the candidates and the public.
The spectators attend the entire audition process (several hours), given
that all deliberation occurs during this time.
The dancers who are eliminated must either leave the space or join the
spectators in the stands.
The fee paid by the theatre for the piece is divided up as a minimum wage
for all dancers who pass the first selection stage. The dancers selected
join the company les gens d'Uterpan.
