Seeks contemporary circus artists and actorsexpired

New York Circus Project

    • North America (United States)
Posted on: Apr. 03, 2024

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 in early/mid-July in Montreal, QC. (Part-time, ability to work around performance schedules with discussion)

4 weeks of performances directly following the rehearsal period, in various US cities through August 18th.

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

US citizens/current work visa preferred, but not required. Must be 18 years or older to be considered. All travel and accommodations are covered by NYCP.

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)

Applications will remain open until Monday, April 14th at 11:59PM.
