what we're looking for |
Our company will comprise of six actors and a director employing extreme casting (see below) with a brief rehearsal period. We are looking for actors who meet the following criteria:
Actors with a strong work ethic: A solid training is good, but strong desire to improve one’s craft is even better. Actors who are independent: We will be producing this play with only six actors, and we’ll be doing it with a brief rehearsal period. We will maintain open lines of communication (email, skype, facebook) to ensure that we can work quickly and effectively when together as a cast. Actors with skills: Musical instruments, singing, dance, combat training, clowning, pantomime – you’re not required to have these, but we may make use of any skill you have. Kind people: A strong ensemble is only successful if the individual members work well together. This is most easily achieved if the individual members of the ensemble are genuinely nice people who enjoy spending time together. We will be spending a lot of time together and interacting closely with our audiences. We will be taking you out of your comfort zone with our casting and our staging. Our company has no room for big egos who detract from the company atmosphere by serving their own interests first. This is more than a line on a resume. This is an opportunity to improve your craft and form a sense of community with your fellow actors and audiences. We need people who are creative, energetic, and flexible, but most of all - kind. |
