EMOTIONAL RESPONSE PRESENTATION
AUDITION NOTICE
Be prepared to sing 32 bars of music in the jazz, golden age musical theatre, or vaudeville style THAT SHOWS YOUR VOCAL RANGE - this musical is uncomplicated, innocent, sincere, and not at all ironic
Bring your own sheet music; an accompanist will be provided
Callbacks will be by invitation only and will consist of a dance call in the tap and 1920’s jazz dance style - I’m choreographing, Joshua O’Daniel Denning
After the dance call another cut will be made and the remaining auditionees will read short scenes and monologues for roles
THANK YOU!
DESIGNER INTERVIEWS
Create an elevator pitch that highlights your skills and unique design point of view:
COSTUMES: head to toe costume design for two contrastins characters (age, status, location)
SETS: scenic design for one setting
LIGHTING: a collage of cinematography images that transport me to the world of the musical as you envision it through light
PROPS: prop design presentation detailing at least 4 iconic props from the 1920s - a hand prop, a diegetic (story-telling) prop that could be featured on the set, a costume prop (different than the hand prop), and furniture prop (stylish 1920’s art deco furniture preferred)
SOUND: sound designers should prepare a 1-2 minute audio collage that immerses the listener in the frivolous jazz-infused world of the 1920s
ALL DESIGNERS: be prepared to discuss each image (or sound), how it was created and why it was used
THANK YOU!
TOUCHSTONE ARTIST: ERTE
