Video Artist, Lauri Astala - www.lauriastala.com - is currently in residence at ISCP (www.iscp.org) and is in the process of developing his next video works while in residence at ISCP. Lauri has interviewed already some dancers/performers, but needs still one or two male dancers/performers between 50 and 80 years old. He will be holding interviews by appointment.

Please see information below:

Casting: MaleDancers/ Performer of diverse ethnic backgrounds

Aged between 50-80

Number of performers still needed:one to two males.

About the Work:

The work will involve filming movement material in a walking pattern, in a studio. The final video will be for an interactive video installation. The "actors" are filmed in chroma-key studio setting (green walls). In the final installation the video of "actors" (the green background keyed out) is superimposed with real-time video stream from the gallery space - as if the spectators were sharing the same space with the "actors". The final video will be edited at a later date.

The selected participants will be paid $10/hour. The filming schedule is not set yet, but will be determined soon, and it is expected that all participants will commit to that schedule once they have been selected. The filming and rehearsing is expected to be in 3 to 4 hour sessions on determined days.

Interviews will take place at the ISCP International Studio & Curatorial Program, 1040 Metropolitan Ave, Brooklyn, NY 12211.

Please send your information, CV and photo if possible (doesn't have to be professional photo) and confirm beforehand by email lauri.astala@gmail.com that you will be attending the interview.
