Interested in joining UMA Groove Collective or UMAMI Collective? 👀
Join us for Mid-Season Auditions on January 31st! This will be a combined audition date for both collectives. Please pre-register by filling out the registration form! It is a FREE audition/ level placement.
Saturday January 31st 5:30-8pm at 812 Chestnut St
This experience is meant to simulate how a traditional Audition would go, we do not want to turn anyone away, but we only have the capacity/resources to fill each level with a certain amount of people especially since this is our mid-season placement.
If people want to enroll into the program at a later date it would be by a case by case or invite only basis if space permits that. We also do a full season audition every August.
Level Upgrades throughout the season would come from leadership otherwise students would wait until the next open placement process.

UMA Groove Collective: Walkout
Show description:
“Walkout” is scenes and excerpts for a full unfinished theater show.
In a future where AI and robots dominate the arts, a totalitarian regime bans human creativity. Underground gatherings emerge, where humans secretly dance and express emotions. A regime scientist develops a machine to transmit human dance skills to AI. When a police raid captures talented dancers, a catastrophic malfunction occurs, resulting in all but one dancer’s death. This lone survivor merges with an AI robot, becoming the first to possess a true soul. As the special robot dances authentically, it causes other AI to malfunction, showcasing the irreplaceable value of genuine human emotion and creativity.
