RAT FW: Cirque Opportunity

["Adam Gertsacov" <kafclown@well.com>]

I just got this email--  Hopefully some of you might find it useful  (and 
maybe we'll perform together on the show!)

> CIRQUE DU SOLEIL IS SEARCHING FOR TALENT FOR A MAJOR TELEVISION PROJECT
>
> In collaboration with TVA International Inc., Cirque du Soleil's Casting team
> is currently working on a major project for television: a series of variety
> shows that will be totally out of the ordinary.
> Concept: Cirque du Soleil Images is currently preparing to film and
> broadcast, in Canada and the United States, a new type of televised variety
> show. The concept is simple: three clowns (already under contract) will host
> the show while a group of six zany and unusual characters interact with them
> and with the audience. The characters will also entertain the audience
> between the guest appearances on different shows.
>
> Description: We are looking for international-calibre acts that will
> surprise, dazzle and impress! They can be burlesque, strange, spectacular,
> poetic, etc. They must be unique and of extremely high quality, regardless
> of the discipline. Circus, cabaret and variety acts are welcome, as are
totally
> original numbers; above all, we demand excellence. We want to find the best
> artists in the world, regardless of where they are from.
> Application: If you think that you have what it takes, we would like to see
> your video demo (obligatory), technical rider, artist's resumé, press kit
> and one or more photos. Please send these to Welby Altidor or Céline Lavallée
at
> the address below. We must receive your application before October, 2000.
> You must be available between October 2000 and January 2001 for a period of
> three to five days, for an appearance in one of the 13 one-hour episodes.
> Please note that we will not accept any application without a video demo.
