  Circus Artists Wanted for Hip Hop/Circus Project
Posted January 25, 2008


Note: Posted as received. David is a good friend of Cyn's and she'll vouch for him that this is a serious project with good potential.

Seeking high level circus artists for Hip Hop/Circus project Feb. 18-22 in New York City.

WHO ARE WE?
We are GENIUS, a circus/dance/theatre company based out of California.

WHAT ARE WE DOING?
We are currently negotiating a 2009 China tour for a new Hip Hop/circus show we're building. In NY, we will be filming a 20-25 minute proof-of-concept video to use for negotiation/grantwriting, combining circus, contemporary dance, breakdance and Hip Hop music. We currently have a team consisting of three world-class breakdancers, two circus artists, a DJ and an MC/beatboxer. We need 2-3 more circus artists to round off the team.

WHO ARE WE LOOKING FOR?
We are looking for circus artists of a very high caliber, preferably with some degree of acrobatic (tumbling) abilities. Dance, theatre, or breakdance experience are not necessary, but definitely preferable.

WHEN AND WHERE IS THIS HAPPENING?
This next step, the film shoot, will take place from Feb. 18-22, with a possibility of continuing on Feb 25 and Feb 26. The rehearsal/shoot will take place in NYC.

WHAT IS THE PAY?
Unfortunately we are not able to offer financial compensation for this one week of work. But, the goal of this project is to build a show and take it to China for an extended tour in early-mid 2009, so clearly this is an investment. Everybody currently on board is incredibly talented and dedicated to making this work.

If you are interested in joining this project or for more information, please contact Artistic Director David Poznanter IMMEDIATELY
