Audition Notice: Manuscript Editors & Performers [Series]

Augmented reality musical narrated by and about a time traveling Prince from a realm connected with modern day earth. The narrative weaves the lives of the Prince, his family, and a group of performers together in a multi part series.

There are several phases to this project:
You can choose to do a phase of the project or try for all. Whatever works for you.

1.     Editing
·      The development of the characters 
·      The progression of their conversations
·      Ensure that it makes sense 
·      Location jumps
·      Realm and time shifts
·      Tenses (past, present, future)
·      Most of it is meant to be present tense but the phrasing has proven challenging

2.     Performing
I am looking for performers to play all the characters if you see a role you want you can submit an audition tape. This is a highly collaborative project if you have ideas, questions, anything at all I want to know about it. If there is something you want to try tell me and I will do my best to facilitate it.

3.     Structure
Since this is an augmented reality project the whole story will be filmed using 3d cameras and written on the pages of a physical book and in ebook format. Whenever possible performers will be doing their acting/ singing or dancing in blank rooms with little to no props. The descriptions and settings will be digitally added by an artistic team later.

Text Colors
There are 3 different colors in the manuscript. It is fairly simple to understand but I’ll explain anyway just to make sure it’s clear. Black, blue and green: The black is just your standard text. The blue text is just like it says in the manuscript it describes these visual environments that the artistic team will use as a template for the book. The green text is what characters are thinking or narrating. These may be audio or text depending on what the artistic team decides.
