CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS - TORONTO
--------------------------------------------------------
* NOTE: CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS HAS BEEN SUBMITTED VERY CLOSE TO THE DUE DATE*

Audition call for one female and one male performer for a 15-20 minute co-production between the Drama Department of the University of Waterloo and Christie Digital Inc., a Waterloo-based company involved in the research and manufacture of innovative data projection systems. Most recently Christie Digital demonstrated their projection capabilities during the Opening Ceremony of the Beijing Olympics and for Robert Lepage's Le Moulin à Images on the occasion of Quebec City's 400th anniversary. The production will be presented (a) at a showcase for theatre entrepreneurs to be held in Toronto in early July (exact date TBA) and (b) 6-8 trades shows during the subsequent year. Performers will be asked to sign a retainer for the subsequent trade shows. 
 
Since the co-production involves a new video display technology, performers must be willing to sign a binding Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA). 
 
Rehearsals and video shoot (canned video is part of the performance) will be held in Toronto in mid-June.
 
Performers need to demonstrate expertise in physical theatre, with strong capabilities in creating and improvising a set of complex physical movements. Their capacity to improvise on a set of given movements will be tested. Expertise in commedia dell'arte and/or clowning will be an asset.
 
Female performers ONLY will receive a brief text at the audition to read in voice-over style.
 
Auditions will be held on Thursday, April 2, from 10 am to 3 pm at the Tarragon Theatre's Near Studio (upstairs), 30 Bridgeman Avenue, Toronto. 
 
For more information call 519-888-4567, ext. 32169.

Equity members will be seen first at all open audition calls. Equity members cast in this production will be engaged under an Equity form of contract. CAEA members: please bring your membership card to the audition.
