Seeking Actor for Paid Dance & Theater Performances

ONLY LOCAL TALENT WILL BE ACCEPTED. Do you want to be part of a team of artists creating physical theatre and dance performances in schools? Looking for an actor. More details are below. Rate: Artist fees are up to 70% higher than equity rates (our artist fees range from $750 – $1200 per week). Out of town residencies also include accommodation and per diems. Additional information: These projects are week-long residencies taking place throughout Alberta. Each one is based on a unique theme chosen by the school. Each artist will support 3 classes in creating a short 3-5 minute theatre piece based on the chosen theme. What to bring: a 4-6 minute piece that showcases your ability to be physical and play characters that have a big presence. Diirectors will also ask you to do a short improv that also focuses on being physical and on having a big presence. Venue: Edmonton. The ideal candidate will be an actor with some experience in at least two of these areas: Choreography, Improv, or Devised theatre based in either Calgary or Edmonton. Experience with running children’s drama or dance classes is an asset, and experience with lighting, sound or video equipment is also an asset. A driver’s license is also good. All the work takes place in Alberta. Artists are able to request the weeks they wish to work. Most artists typically work 8-26 weeks a year (depending on their availability), for 3-10 years. When applying, please confirm you can attend and send resumes and head shot. Next steps: After the generals, artists may be invited to a second audition that will take place in a school with a group of students. No preparation is required.
