|EMERGE AUDITIONS|
On Tuesday, February 19th, the Faculty of Company of Rogues
Actor's Studio will be auditioning actors who want to be considered for the 2013
Emerge Auditions. The Emerge Auditions are for actors graduating from
full-time programs and is a forum for their work to be seen by Calgary and
Edmonton based theatre companies and agents. Candidates' work should be ready
to be seen by the professional community--i.e. on par with the grads of Mt.
Royal and U.of C. If you are in doubt about your standing, please ask
your instructor.
In past years, the faculty has consulted then chosen four
actors to send--last year our candidates were Tiffany Cuffley, Wendy Froberg,
Cliff Liknes and Sophia Lauchlin This year, we have 4 slots to fill potentially
and are implementing this new audition process. Potential actors should have
completed the Masterclass Program, or have studied with us consistently over a
period of time: 1-2 years or more. The Emerge Auditions are in April, so actors
selected will still have time to polish their work for Emerge. However, they
must have two pieces they are working on to show us and their program of
monologues has to be determined by March 8. Actors must also be willing to
appear at both the Calgary and Edmonton auditions
Actors should prepare two contrasting monologues of 2
minutes (or less) each. Both monologues can be contemporary/modern, or may
include one Shakespeare. We suggest you only perform Shakespeare if it's an
area in which you are strong.
Rogues Emerge Auditions: February 19th @ 6:30pm.
Auditions will be booked in 10 minute intervals to allow for some direction to
be given. Film students will be permitted to leave class for their audition. If
callbacks are needed, they will take place Thursday, February 21st @
4pm. If this is important to you we hope
you will clear your schedule to attend. We will only be auditioning candidates whose work we feel is ready to be seen by the professional community
Candidates please submit their names directly to me by e-mail:
joe@corogues.com
and cc the studio at: info@corogues.com.
Many Thanks,
Joe-Norman Shaw and Christianne Hirt
