The casting call last week was great, however for the storyboard of this video shoot, he really needs a diversified group of performers.
IF you are interested, or know of performers would be interested, please do forward, send, tweet, post, share, publish! THANK YOU!

Casting: Dancers/ Performer of diverse ethnic backgrounds

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.
Interested dancers/performers are invited to interviews in one of the time slots below:
- Wednesday Sept. 26 10am-9pm
- Friday Sept. 28 12pm-7pm,
- Saturday Sept. 29, 12pm-7pm
Interviews will take place at the ISCP International Studio & Curatorial Program, 1040 Metropolitan Ave, Brooklyn, NY 12211.
Please send your information, CV and photo if possible (doesn't have to be professional photo) and confirm beforehand by email that you will be attending the interview.
