Must have extensive training in dance and, if no prior stilt experience, be comfortable with height, balance and strenuous physical activity while simultaneously engaging in precise articulation of a marionette.

The stilts are a specific type of painter's stilt as opposed to a "peg" stilt and therefor allow the performer to stand stationary and operate marionettes etc.

Auditions will be comprised of dance, stilt and marionette components.

A fee of $750/week will be provided.

Please submit headshot, resume and short video of your work (strongly recommended if

available), to adinwalker@gmail.com for consideration. Auditions to be held on July 20, 2019.
