Ethno-cultural mandate or ethno-cultural casting statement:
Swallow-a-Bicycle Theatre is an equal opportunity employer and
encourages submissions from performers of all cultural backgrounds.

Swallow-a-Bicycle Theatre is seeking performer-collaborators for a
2-week devised creation workshop. 

Workshop Description
In 2015, Calgary exists at the epicentre of some of humanity's biggest
existential challenges. As Canada's energy capital, it is a major driver
of the global carbon economy and has a staggering concentration of
wealth. Our way of life - cars, clothes, food, buildings, investments -
contributes to climate change, violent conflict, unsafe worker
conditions and other horrific abuses of humanity and ecology.

In this workshop, we are interested in identifying our complicity in
complex global challenges and exploring how we react to that complicity.
The creation process will integrate mask, physical improvisation,
research, writing and discussion. This creation process will culminate
in a free public performance; the generated materials will be used to
develop an original theatre production, slated to premiere in Spring
2016.

Process
The creation process will be physically demanding. We are looking for
actors with experience or a strong interest in physical theatre, mask
work and devised theatre. The process requires actors who are keen to
explore an individual creation process but who also work well within a
guided group dynamic.

Timeline
Actors must be available August 4-16, 2015, inclusive, for a full-time
workshop.

Submission/Audition Process
If you are available and interested in the project, please send a short
cover letter expressing your interest, summarizing any relevant physical
theatre, devised theatre and/or mask experience along with your CV and
headshot to info at swallowabicycle.com. Application deadline is Monday,
May 25, 2015 at 6:00 pm.

Successful applicants will be contacted for group auditions on Monday,
June 1, 2015 from 6:00-8:00 pm. The auditions will consist of ensemble
movement; come dressed in clothing/footwear appropriate for moving.

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.
