Spiegelworld's DiscoShow
Spiegelworld’s DiscoShow is inspired by the spirit of David Mancuso's famous Loft parties which erupted out of the squalor and oppression of 1970s New York and gave birth to disco. The DJ was worshiped and salvation was found on the dance floor. A group of young New Yorkers, from all corners of the city, invite you to join them on a night out as they embrace their lust for life and search for the space where they can live out loud. DiscoShow is an experiential event with a 1970s soul and a 21st century attitude. Set inside a transformative space, this 70-minute live show is unlike any other entertainment in Las Vegas – an intensity of light, sound, LED video, movement, dance, humor and emotion. We are invited to step inside the action with the characters; into their lives, on the streets, at the club.
4 roles
Black, female, 30+ DANCER. Sheila is a nurse by day, and a stunning disco diva by night. She is the coolest, most sensual and puckish presence in the club. She is unfussy, understated and there is not one fake thing about her. She slides onto the dance floor and simply belongs there with earned ease. She brings everyone together with obvious power and quiet authority. There is a real political undercurrent to who she is. Strong singing skills preferred (Alto).
Male, mid 30’s DANCER. Brent is an alpha male. Character is well-built/muscular and masculine. A buttoned-up, suited and straight-laced banker during the day; he appears older than he is, and carefully hides his queerness. Then, like Clark Kent, the glasses come off to reveal a confident Disco Superman in muscle-revealing vest, shorts and boots. A brilliant dancer who has amazing moves and freedom as soon as he hits the club.
ROLLER SKATERS WHO DANCE. Athena, Aphrodite and Apollo: Vibrant, confident, playful nymphs who are the best and most fearless roller skaters on the planet — and are also up for lots of fun and interaction with the audience. Wherever they go, they get the party started! Speed, agility, and precision are vital skills for these roller skaters. We are seeking confidence, safety, and no chaos. Skills should be transferable between skating and dance.
Male 30’s COMIC ACTOR WHO DANCES. Åke is a Finnish disco dance teacher resurrected from the 1970’s and inspired by the real-life television star Åke Blomqvist. A quirky comedic character who uses stories about his strange upbringing in Finland to teach us all the best disco moves. He’s very quick witted. The ability to improvise and interact with the audience is essential. A brilliant dancer too.
