Students and community members are invited to audition for the College of Lake County (CLC) dance department’s 2025 Fear No Art Festival on Thursday, Jan. 30 in the Experimental Theatre of the James Lumber Center for the Performing Arts (JLC), room P103 at the Grayslake Campus. Fear No Art celebrates diverse voices in the arts and is an inclusive space where every voice finds its place and every perspective shines.

This unique festival plays a vital role in supporting the artistic development of our college students and community artists. This lively celebration features a variety of emerging choreographers, dancers, musicians, singers, actors, photographers, artists, graphic designers, poets and more.

The times for auditions and submissions are:

  • 5:30-6 p.m. for visual artists. Bring samples of work: painting, pencil, animation, etc. Completed works are not needed by the submission date.
  • 6-7:30 p.m. for musicians, poets, actors and other artists. Be prepared to sing, play, speak or play a recording. A piano will be available.
  • 7:30-9:30 p.m. for dancers. Come dressed and ready to dance. No prepared dance necessary.

Dance rehearsals have a minimum commitment of two hours a week for one piece. Rehearsal days and times vary and depend on the choreographer and dancers’ availability. All other artists may work at their own pace, with mentoring.

Fear No Art Festival performances are 7:30 p.m., Friday, April 25 and 2 p.m. and 7:30 p.m., Saturday, April 26 on the JLC mainstage. For information, contact Valerie Alpert at valpert@clcillinois.edu or (847) 543-2432.
