*APOLLO'S FIRE: *AUDITIONS FOR YOUNG ACTORS/DANCERS Ages 11-17

*“An unseen part of the extraordinary work that Jeannette Sorrell is doing
with Apollo’s Fire – the mentoring of young people through music.” *–

Apollo’s Fire Baroque Orchestra announces auditions for the roles of the *“drei
Knaben” *in AF’s upcoming production of

*Mozart’s **Magic Flute **
*

*The “drei Knaben” (three boys) may be played by boys or girls, but should
preferably be under 5 ft tall.*

Three students will be chosen to play these roles in scenes involving
movement, but no singing. These students will work closely with AF’s two
professional dancers (period specialists) who will perform together with
the students in several scenes. This includes the opening “dragon” scene,
the dance of the enchanted animals, and various other scenes involving
action but no singing.

Extensive dance training is NOT necessary, but basic dance/movement
experience on stage is required.

*Performances are March 22-­‐25, *at Severance Hall, Oberlin College, Kent
State University, and the Cleveland Museum of Art.

In addition, three young singers will be chosen to play the Knaben in
scenes that involve *singing *but no dancing. Students auditioning for the
movement roles may also audition for the singing roles if they wish. It is
possible to do both in the performances, but the time commitment for
rehearsals is greater.

*AUDITIONS * Auditions will be held on *January 25-­‐26. *Please prepare a
short dance or mime presentation, 1-­‐

2 minutes. Students will also be asked to learn some simple movement steps
at the audition.

*To sign up for auditions, and for further info, please contact:*
