The problem

Casting shouldn't live in your inbox.

Tapes lost in Dropbox. Spreadsheets out of date by Tuesday. The wrong dancer flown across a continent. Your art deserves a first round that respects your time — and theirs.

How it works

From open call to signed contract — in four quiet steps.

01

Open the call

Publish your audition in minutes — role, repertoire, dates, requirements. Share one link, everywhere.

02

Receive tapes, structured

Dancers submit reels, headshots and CVs in a single quiet inbox. Auto-organised. No more Dropbox links.

03

Shortlist together

Watch, score and comment as a team. Build a shared shortlist your artistic staff actually agrees on.

04

Decide and invite

Send studio invitations, schedule, and offer contracts — all from the same workspace.

"We replaced three weeks of admin with one afternoon of watching."
