NYCP presents: Hamletexpired
|
Description:
New York Circus Project (NYCP) seeks contemporary circus artists and actors for Hamlet, an adaptation of William Shakespeare's classic, taking place in summer 2024.
6 weeks total contract:
~10 days of rehearsal beginning of July in Montreal, QC. (Part-time, ability to work around performance schedules with discussion)
4 weeks of performances directly following rehearsal period, in various US cities.
About the project: This production of Hamlet transforms the format and style of the well-known plot into an interdisciplinary circus performance. The fast-paced, abbreviated script is balanced with circus acts that change the story’s tempo and allow for a deeper exploration of the internal, emotional conflict at hand. Hamlet’s delirium materializes in an explosive group acrobatic tableau; Ophelia’s life flashes before her eyes during a last-breath contortion number in a water-filled basin; and the ghost of Hamlet’s father’s famous monologue is reimagined as a solo aerial number. Oscillating between dialogue and circus numbers, the lines between realism and internal monologue blur.
Team: Sam Landa (director, co-producer), Emma Owens (co-producer), Lola Picayo (assoc. producer), Carolyn Friedman (assoc. director and producer), Jennie Yu (production stage manager)

Seeking all circus disciplines, including generalists with strong group acrobatics skills. Strong dance and acting experience is a plus.
