"Van-Tuck" Promotion Seeks Performers
Posted August 29, 2008; REVISED September 9, 2008
Note: We have listed promotional jobs for Cirque du Soleil before. With respect to this one, the casting agent writes, "This opportunity is much different from the city-wide performance flyering we did for Wintuk in April. This is a much more focused action with four characters." Posted generally as received.
Hiring Theatrical Characters to Promots Cirque du Soleil's Wintuk
Theatre MAMA seeks PERFORMERS OF VARIOUS DISCIPLINES: PHYSICAL ACTORS, CLOWNS, ACROBATS, GYMNASTS, ANIMATORS, JUGGLERS, STILT WALKERS, etc. for an eight-week Mobile Marketing Tour to visit surrounding towns in the Tri-State area to promote Cirque du Soleil's WINTUK coming into Manhattan this fall for three months. The Mobile Marketing Tour will leave from NYC every Friday, Saturday, and Sunday morning and return at the end of the day.
Imagine a pair of stilt-walking minstrels around a city's Downtown area at 5pm to wave goodnight to all the commuters and leave them with a flyer announcing the arrival of WINTUK by Cirque du Soleil. Imagine a delicate mime character sitting in a grassy park with 30 children around...all wearing clown noses AND smiles. Imagine a tumbler wowing crowds on a busy day in the park!
For the Promotional Characters, we seek performers who see this as an opportunity to perfect their craft. Candidates must have a love for "causing a scene" and have a talent for balancing the art of performing and handing out flyers to the public. Finally, the ideal candidate must be comfortable promoting outside on our world's largest stage and must be excited about WINTUK!
The performers hired must be available for the entire run of the tour. Some dates are still pending, but performers should be available the following Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays:
- Sept. 26-28
- Oct. 3-5
- Oct. 10-12
- Oct. 24-26
- Oct. 31-Nov 2
- Nov 7-9 (will likely be dropped)
- Nov. 14-16
- Nov. 21-23
- Thanksgiving Week, including Macy's Parade on Sat. Nov 29
We will be casting this week (week of September 8). For all interested applicants, please first submit your interest to our casting network at theatremama.com/casting. Once in the system, please apply for the specific job Mobile Marketing Tour and a Theatre MAMA representative will be in touch with you.
This is a paid gig which requires the utmost professionalism. Please include a current resume with your application and have a wonderful day!
