ATTENTION:  Dancers/Performers

Video Artist, Lauri Astala - www.lauriastala.com -  is currently in residence at ISCP (www.iscp.org)  and is in the process of developing his next video works while in residence at ISCP. He will be casting Dancers/Performers for this new video work.

Casting: Dancers/ Performer of diverse ethnic backgrounds (Latin American, East Asian, South-East Asian, Middle-Eastern, African, African American, or Caucasian) 

Aged between 18-99

Number of performers:  7 -  two males and five females. 

About the Work:

The work will involve filming movement material in a walking pattern, in a studio. The final video will be for an interactive video installation. The "actors" are filmed in chroma-key studio setting (green walls). In the final installation the video of "actors" (the green background keyed out) is superimposed with real-time video stream from the gallery space - as if the spectators were sharing the same space with the "actors". The final video will be edited at a later date. 

The selected participants will be paid $10/hour. The filming schedule is not set yet, but will be determined soon, and it is expected that all participants will commit to that schedule once they have been selected. The filming and rehearsing is expected to be in 3 to 4 hour sessions on determined days.

- Tues Sept. 18 10am-9pm
