2025 General Auditions
Theatre Encounter
Compensation: $2500
Deadline to apply: October 1, 2024
Theatre Encounter, Calgary’s Expressionist theatre company, will hold auditions for its Winter 2025 programming on Saturday, October 5, 2024
Artists cast will participate in the development of a new one-act play, an experiment in Expressionist Farce. This collaboratively-created production will be overseen by director Michael Fenton, and will culminate in a work-in-development presentation at the cSpace Marda Loop theatre in March 2025.
Schedule
Theatre Encounter rehearses on a part-time schedule from our Abattoir Studio in Marda Loop (approx. 100 – 125 hours, evenings and weekends). Tech and performance week is March 22 – 29, 2025.
To audition submit a brief introduction by email, CV and headshot to artisticproducer@theatreencounter.com by October 1, 2024.
Theatre Encounter engages in a highly physical approach to performance grounded in expressionistic styles. Actors, dancers and performers from other physical disciplines are encouraged to audition.
Those selected for auditions will be asked to prepare a 1 – 2 minute comedic monologue and a movement piece up to 3 minutes in length.
If you are an artist whose work is known to Theatre Encounter and would like to be considered for this project, please contact Michael Fenton by email at artisticdirector@theatreeencounter.com.
