I'm presenting in Calgary on the 8th of October at a Design Conference called CAMP — I'm looking for an actor to help me read a famous Dadaist poem called Karawame by Hugo Ball.

It's abstract. It's weird. The goal is to make the audience feel a bit awkward.I've done this once before in New York and had a great response.

The poem is Karawane by Hugo Ball. It is a Dadaist poem. It is short, but it needs a sense of irony / comedy to be done well. You will also need to construct a costume like Hugo. This should consist of wearing all grey / silver, spraypainted silver dish gloves and tall hat (made out of grey paper).

My talk is about 45 minutes long. You will come out for ~5 minutes around the 20 minute mark.

The details:
When: October 8th 3-5pm.
Where: Taylor Centre for the Performing Arts
18 Mt Royal Cir SW, Calgary, AB T3E 7N5, Canada
What: Poem Reading and Costume.
Pay: $200 Cash

Selection: Please email the reference video of acting / reading. Comedic content preferred.

Thanks!
