Rehearsals begin immediately for a showing in March, and the premiere in July. The production will then tour in the fall and spring of 2013/2014.


CASTING
LOUIS - African-American male dancer/actor

The role requires a dancer with strong technique, ability to improvise in rehearsals and contribute actively to a collaboration, and a background in acting. Like a silent movie, the roles will not require speaking but will require clear storytelling told through the body and face. Additionally, because of the collaborative process and length of rehearsal/development, we are looking for someone who is easy to work with.
