Call for Performers for 2013-14
General Auditions
Theatre Encounteris an alternative experimental theatre company looking for dynamic performers for its productions.

We do a type of performance that often mixes all art forms, and is based on physical interpretations of the text. As such, actors, dancers, singers and / or musicians are encouraged to apply (although past training in dancing, singing or music is not mandatory). Productions are highly physical, and use varied forms of theatre to visually express the text. The rehearsal period is often in-depth and extended, and there is usually a training period that is prior / part of the process to introduce these variances.

We are also seeking new company members, to be part of an ensemble.

If you are interested in auditioning, or becoming a company member, email us with a very brief introduction about yourself and your interests, and attach a good-quality headshot and resume. Please name your file attachments as: “yourname-actingresume.doc” or “yourname-headshot.jpg”. Alternatively you can post it to our mailing address. See the website for further info on preparation.

Upcoming Productions
* How To Win Friends and Influence People, by Dale Carnegie. We are looking for 5 actors in the show, male / female. Actors should be interested / comfortable with physical performance.

Auditions: May 12th(during the day) and 14th(during the eve), 2013.

Tangled Spaces

Unravelling hidden webs, the dancers duck, reach, and fly through this labyrinthine world. Do they just see obstacles, or the possible spaces in between? Punctuated with chaos, Tangled Spaces explores perception and how our accumulated history shapes our personal experience to navigate through the knots.

Mob Hit Productions is a multi-disciplinary, multi-media theatre company. For nearly 10 years the Mobsters have been entertaining Calgary audiences with their unique brand of theatre. DANCE. THEATRE. ART. MUSIC. FUN.
