Auditions for youth aged 14–27

MISCELLANEOUS Productions is at it again, this time with a new performance and documentary video project.

The project will explore stereotyping, racism, violence, poverty, the politics of food and pleasures of cooking in East Vancouver, Canada.

MISCELLANEOUS Productions, creators and producers of THE REENA PROJECT / Outcasts & Angels , What You Carry With You..., e-race, and MISCELLANEOUS Magazine, will be holding Auditions and Interviews for East Vancouver Youth aged 14 - 27 for our new live performance and documentary video project. We are looking for performers who can act, sing, dance, write and/or play percussion or who possess a combination of some or all these talents, as well as video technicians and stage crew.

No experience neccessary.

Based on the main themes of stereotyping, poverty, racism, violence, peer pressure, substance abuse, family, the politics of food and pleasures of cooking, MISCELLANEOUS Productions will create an ensemble performance with music, dance and video featuring Vancouver Eastside youth. The performance will be performed in November 2007 at the Vancouver East Cultural Centre and we will be shooting a documentary of our process to create this original work throughout the next year. The live performance will be structured as a satire of an Iron Chef television show and the "celebrity chefs" will be the youth from East Vancouver with a strong plot elicited from the true stories of the participants. There will be "stock characters" -stereotypes that will be created and debunked.

Auditions and interviews for the cast and crews will be held at:

Gray's Park Hall

4850 St. Catherine's Street corner of 32nd Avenue

Just north east of 33rd and Fraser Street in East Vancouver

On the following dates:

Wednesday, September 20, 2006: 4 PM - 9 PM

Friday, September 22, 2006: 4 PM - 9 PM

Friday, September 29, 2006: 4 PM - 8 PM - Call-backs only

Wear comfortable clothes and shoes you can dance in!

Singers: prepare one verse and one chorus from a Soul, R&B or pop song.

We will be writing and rehearsing the performance in late 2006 and throughout 2007, and opening the play in Vancouver East Cultural Centre in November 2007. All positions for youth aged 14 -27 years old are completely open in the Performance Crew (cast), Video Crew (production) and Technical Theatre Crew.
