Casting call for "Then She Fell" [UPDATE]

UPDATE: Please note that applications are still being accepted and the audition has been pushed forward to November 11 (as updated below).

*****

I'm just able to get to a lot of email requests and information now. So, please forgive me for getting the word out late about this casting call. Due to post-Sandy conditions and delays, I would suggest that if you're still interested in this project, contact TRP and find out if you can still apply.

Third Rail Projects is looking for performers for the extension of their immersive work, Then She Fell, as well as future site-specific projects slated for 2013. It is important for performers to be available from mid-December until mid-March to be part of a second cast for Then She Fell.

We are seeking performers with: a strong contemporary dance background and at least three years of professional performance experience; comfort and experience moving in a site-specific context, for example on architecture (furniture, walls, tables, staircases); the ability to move athletically in aggressive, heightened choreography as well as an ability to execute simple, uninflected pedestrian actions; experience with dynamic partnering; a willingness and comfort using voice and speech; and the ability to embody a character and interact personally and in close proximity to audience members.

Although we are looking to meet a range of dancers and performers, our most immediate needs for Then She Fell have specific requirements. We are currently seeking two female dancers with shoulder length (or longer), medium to dark brown hair and one male dancer with excellent partnering skills. If you do not meet these criteria, you are still encouraged to apply as we are also casting for future projects at this time.

Please send your resume (can also be in bio format) and a photo that best represents you as an artist to jennine@thirdrailprojects.com . We will also accept links to online videos of your work. Please include your height and hair color, as well as any blocks of time that you would be unavailable between December 2012 and July 2013. We will select and contact the first round of candidates for a workshop with Third Rail Projects Artistic Directors on November 11 from 10-4pm.
