feature film shooting in Northeast Ohio! Exciting opportunity to work with
New York choreographer David Neumann.

*All submissions are due NO LATER than Friday April 2. But the sooner
submissions are received, the better!*

--*Tier One "Dancers"*: Trained dancers, very familiar with dance
terminology, can quickly learn and execute choreography with precision.

choreography
--Can submit for whichever you're comfortable with- may submit for both.
--All ages (including minors), genders, ethnicities, body types, and skill
levels will be considered.
--**Please note*: this will be a video submission, NOT a photo submission.

*Especially looking for REAL families with multiple members who are either
dancers or movers. (Dads, this means you too! Even if you are just moving
your hips!)*

*ALL DANCERS AND MOVERS MUST BE PREPARED TO BE TESTED FOR COVID19.* All
testing will be paid for by production.

*Shoot Dates:*
--Film is shooting Mid June to late October.
--Must have flexible schedule as exact dates are TBD. All dancers and
movers will have varying time commitments- with multiple rehearsal days and
shooting days.
--When submitting, please include any conflicts for this time period
(June-October).

*Location:*
Northeast Ohio

*Pay Rates:*
Tier One: Dancer pay scale- exact rate will depend on how you are cast

*Dance audition instructions:*
--Below are 5 prompts to be included in submission tapes. You are welcome
to perform whatever comes to you within these prompts. Please indicate if
you have any injuries or restrictions and, if so, adapt these prompts as
needed.
--*While recording, please have the person filming you read the prompts
aloud and then perform each one.*
1. Perform first 8 counts of a line dance
2. Collapse to the floor in slow motion
3. Using an imagined sign language (perhaps for an alien species), use your
entire body to say: “Hello! My name is __________________, can you show me
where I can get something to eat?”
4. Pantomime starting a gas lawn mower (pulling the cord, getting behind
the handle, pushing the mower, etc.), mowing 3 or 4 feet of lawn and then
retrograde, or reverse, what you just did. (Try to be precise!)
5. To the music that’s provided (or the selection you brought), please
dance like you are in the center of a dance circle at a wedding party and
you are the life of the party. You are welcome to show any special
skills/abilities.

Please use the following song:
Parliament Funkadelic’s ‘Flashlight

*IMPORTANT NOTES FOR SELF-TAPE AUDITIONS*
--Lighting, audio and backdrop are crucial. Many auditions aren’t sent to
the director due to production quality.
--At the END of the audition: Slate your name, and agent if you have one.
Also state if you are a local hire.
*For families submitting together:*
--Please include one take with the whole family together completing the
prompts; AND a take of each individual family member completing the prompts
on their own.
--Each family member should state their name at the end of their individual
take so that we know who is who!

*Notes for minors:*
--Minors may be submitted as either dancers or movers.
--Minors may be submitted individually or as part of a family- but
production has a strong preference for whole families.
--Parent or guardian must be present with minor on set for both rehearsals
and filming days.
--Must be prepared to take a COVID test- paid for by production.
