NYU Short Film Audition

So we're holding auditions this Friday the 18th from 1-5pm at the NYU SCPS space at 82 Washington Square East, Room B6. Actors should shoot an email to ricosclass@gmail.com with a headshot and resume for a slot. Below is a breakdown of the short film still being cast. Actors need to bring a prepared short monologue.


Brief description: Dissolution of a relationship amidst an awkward, and possibly haunted, dinner party.

Male lead: 20-27. An inveterate prankster of semi-independent means who usually takes things too far. Childish but endearing. Charming. Funny. Attempting to rekindle his relationship by moving into a hastily acquired home with his girlfriend. Boyfriend of female lead. Requires both comedic and dramatic skills.

Female lead: 20-30. An intense and somewhat controlling woman with an unexpected impulsive streak. Maybe not perfectly compatible with her boyfriend, but comfortable. She has a secret, and will go to great lengths to protect her relationship. Requires both comedic and dramatic skills.

Supporting male: 20-27. Childhood friend of male lead. Hipster, lame. Intoxicated with himself. Pines for his friend's girlfriend. Requires both comedic and dramatic skills.

Supporting female: 20-30. Recent friend / acquaintance of female lead. Unwitting blind date of supporting male. Reserved comedic persona (Aubrey Plaza-like) hiding a quick intelligence and perceptive ability.


The actual shoot will be in Brooklyn, rehearsals starting the 24th or soon after, and shooting most likely the following week.

Thanks so much for your help!

[ BRAD ]
Lead / MALE / 18 TO 25 / African American
Brad is handsome and wonderfully complicated. After his mother discovers his
interest in other men, she drives him out onto the street, and into a future
of further discovery. He is vulnerable and embodies a kindness, he cannot
afford. His self - hate perpetuates, and is used to being called a "loser",
but takes it easy, and displays a tough side charm. Brad is a boy who wants
to be good, but can't help himself from being bad.
Singing & dance capability is a huge plus


[ PETIT ]
Supporting / MALE / 18 to 25 / African American , Latino
Petit is a star. Petit is homosexual and likely adrogynous and flirty. and a dancer. Petit wants to be the center of attention, and the center of the "House". Petit wants to eat BRAD up in big bites, and show him the ways of this vouging underworld. Petit will be a star choreographer one day, and brags about being good enough to work with "justin" (Timberlake) Petit is like a male Rosie Perez 10 years ago. Must Dance.

[QUEEF LATINA]
Supporting / MALE / 28 - 35 / African American
Queef Latina is a former Voguing star. Queef is a Drag Queen star. Let's just say she/he knows how to give great "face", and strike a pose. He runs a HOUSE of dancers & Queens, and is the 'House Mother' to all. She/he will protect her "children". She is fierce, and orderly, and keeps all of the dancers moving forward, and in practice, focused. She is disciplined, and has it all together, and would die for her "kids". Queef should not be crossed. Queef is the Love that binds the HOUSE together. Must be able to Sing/Dance.

Casting Call for THE POPULACE Short Film

Hello, I'm a filmmaker, shooting a film for a master's thesis in Urban Studies this summer for Brooklyn College. I'm having auditions this weekend at the Graduate Center in Manhattan (in the Wall St area) and the film has garnered a lot of interest, but I'm not getting many submissions for the African American male lead. The film is a feature adaptation of an H.P. Lovecraft short story for a Urban Studies Master's Thesis. It deals with police brutality (among other issues) and revolves around a Federal Agent investigating missing children in Brooklyn near his former NYPD precinct. It's a dramatic role, with action sequences. We're shooting in 3d, so it'll be a challenge.

We're casting several roles, so if you know anyone that may be interested, you can direct them to the website at www.thepopulace.com, to see the complete list, and register for auditions. I'll also include a flyer.

Audition Date: May 15th, 2010

Audition Location:
Brooklyn College Graduate Center for Worker Education
25 Broadway, (in NYC)

"Appointment" Auditions at NYU

The Undergraduate Drama Department
Proudly Announces
Audition/Interviews for

APPOINTMENT
Directed by Aaron Landsman

AUDITION/INTERVIEWS:
Thursday, April 29th, 7-11pm & Sunday, May 2nd 12-3pm


PERFORMANCE DATES:
September 16-19th

The piece will begin rehearsing in late-August. You must be in town and available starting August 30th in order to audition.

Please prepare for the interview:
1-2 minute presentation that answers the following questions

1. How have you created original work in the past?
2. Why do you want to be a part of this project, given the description of it?
3. Who are your influences?
4. What are three things that distinguish you as an artist?
5. What is an area of your theatermaking you'd like to improve?

You are welcome to bring in text, audio, video (on a laptop) or still photos to support your presentation, but please note that you only have two minutes before Aaron starts asking you questions.

Adventurous theater-makers sought for Appointment, an ongoing theater project by theater artist Aaron Landsman. Selected students will work with Landsman on short, repeatable performance works staged in small offices for a single viewer at a time. This project is open to intrepid playwrights, directors and performers who create original work, and to both single artists and collaborative pairs. Participants will be chosen by interview. Please come prepared to discuss your approach to making live performance; if you’d like to read or show something, you are welcomed to.

We’ll start with a score – a series of formal elements that need to be in each piece – and a series of possible scenarios for creators to use as starting points. Over the course of two intensive weeks, each artist or team will develop 10- to 15-minute works that can be performed several times in a row. We’ll inhabit a suite of newly renovated offices on NYU’s campus, and create an event that combines elements of theater, installation and workaday task. Viewers may not only be performed for, they may be counseled, negotiated with, seduced, or interviewed. Together we’ll study and explore strategies for how to create work in a small space, how to involve the audience in a clear way, how to perform intimately, and how to deal with the technical and dramaturgical requirements of a piece that is performed again and again.

Appointment is an ongoing project Landsman is creating with groups of artists and students internationally. Previous iterations have taken place at CUNY’s Prelude Festival and in Oslo, Norway. Future versions are scheduled in Austin, Berlin, Minsk and Philadelphia. The project continues his series of works created for quotidian locations like offices, homes and barrooms, in which context becomes its own formal element.

The results of our work together will be available online at the Appointment Blog: http://makeanappointment.wordpress.com
