topic posted Fri, January 18, 2008 - 9:27 PM by  djahari
Open Call Auditions for Desert Sin's "Musee des Femmes" in New York!
Date TBA, but very soon!

We are doing a pro-bono, one-night performance at the Zipper Theater in Manhattan this April with the opportunity of a future run with deferred pay.

We are looking for one male or androgynous female performer (our Ringmaster) and several female dancers to play the various characters in our production of "Musee des Femmes: Tales of the Grotesque and Arabesque". Some of the characters include MataHari, Kali, Saint Joan, and BabaYaga. "Musee" is a dark, yet magical and beautiful retelling of popular female archetypes.

Qualifications:
Women must have a strong dance background (Middle Eastern not required, but the ability to learn quickly), and strong acting ability. If you have any other talents, such as singing, playing an instrument, contortionist, etc we would love to utilize this within the show as well.

The Ringmaster is not required to be a dancer, but strong acting and improv skills is a must. Preferably looks no younger than 35. Any additional talents such as playing any instruments, fire performance, magic, etc is most welcome. The Ringmaster is dark, mysterious, glamorous, domineering, both over the top and subtle, a collector/fetishist of damaged women...be creative as there is room for interpretation.

Please prepare:
Women Characters - One 3 minute piece that displays your dancing and acting ability. An additional 3 minutes will be allotted to display any additional skills.

The Ringmaster - One 3 minute piece (monologue or movement) that displays a wide-range of emotions. An additional 3 minutes will be allotted to display any additional skills.

Location and time TBA.
More information coming!
