Energetic and Motivated Performers -Just My ImaginationexpiredVeritas Entertainment |
Description:Veritas Entertainment are delighted to be creating the ultimate tribute to the music of The Temptations, with the Olivier-nominated actor and choreographer Jason Pennycooke as Director and Choreographer. Veritas are very excited to be creating a filmed industry showcase to publicise ‘Just My Imagination’ to many potential bookers across the globe.We are looking for energetic and motivated performers to recreate this slick, lively and dynamic show. All actors should have the ability to embody the spirit, essence, appeal and presence of the Temptations. The look, the style, the poise, the grace, and above all else, the heart and soul. The band members are known for their choreography, distinct harmonies, and dress style. Having sold tens of millions of albums, the Temptations are arguably the most famous RnB group of all time. Great singing, performance and movement skills are a must, as well as a good work ethic and willingness to train hard. You don’t have to be technically trained but you do have to be able to pick up complex group routines and harmonies, as well as having an air of individuality about you. We would also like to inform performers that we will need them to learn the majority of the material prior to rehearsals. Veritas will provide all the necessary materials via Dropbox.
