SLEEP NO MORE Auditions: July 13th

‘Sleep No More’ is a groundbreaking collaboration between London, UK based theatre company Punchdrunk and The American Repertory Theater. Punchdrunk are award winning pioneers in the realm of site specific theatre. Sleep No More is a choreographic, visual, sonic and site response to Shakepeare’s Macbeth which unfolds across four, sprawling floors of a stunning, secret location.

Casting information - dancers
Punchdrunk offers performers the opportunity to create and perform within stunning, transformative site specific environments. We combine a highly intense physical choreographic style with a subtle and intimate theatrical sensibility. The emphasis is on a dance language that is emotionally expressive, develops a narrative and works with the scenography of the site. You don’t perform in a show – rather inhabit a world. The dancers we work with are highly skilled with a magical presence. For Sleep No More we are looking for brilliant dancer – actors (think Lloyd Newson’s DV8 or Pina Bausch!) to replace the British company who will open the show in the autumn. You will be learning these challenging roles and leading the rest of the company for the completion of the run. This is theatre – dance theatre not for the faint hearted.

Those considering applying should visit the Punchdrunk website @ http://www.punchdrunk.org.uk for background information.
