Clay & Paper Theatre is seeking 4 to 8 post-secondary student performers for our summer production of “Our Last Best Hope”, a new Canadian play about our need to engage a new vision to prevent us from plunging into the abyss of environmental and global ruin.
“First Nations represent Canadians’ last best hope of stopping Canada from mass destruction of our shared lands, waters, plants and animals in the name of resource development for export to foreign countries...”
- Pam Palmater, Mi'kmaq lawyer and professor, and academic director of the Centre for Indigenous Governance at Ryerson University
These are full-time 35 hours/week positions from June 3rd to August 18th, 2013 (eleven weeks) with a variable schedule including performances in the evenings and on weekends. The program is funded by HRDC’s Canada Summer Jobs program at the minimum wage of $10.25/hour. For all positions you MUST be a post-secondary student returning to school in the fall, and be under 30 years of age.
Clay & Paper Theatre is a small but mighty OUTDOOR theatre company, so applicants must be prepared to work in beautiful Dufferin Grove Park in full public view in all kinds of weather and at a wide range of tasks to ensure the success of the summer show. The work will require a strong commitment to the artistic vision of the show and of the company and will require punctuality, flexibility, a willingness to learn and contribute, and individual organization. As a member of our summer troupe, performers/animateurs will learn and participate in the art of puppet construction, puppeteering (with puppets large and small), and outdoor performance skills and will engage in outreach workshops in the community of Dufferin Grove Park. Musical ability will be honoured, as will construction skills.
Clay & Paper Theatre seeks and encourages applications from people of all backgrounds and levels of experience. Aboriginal performers (including First Nations, Metis and Inuit) are especially encouraged to apply.
Please submit your resume and a short statement of why you would like to join our motley crew to clayandpaper@sympatico.ca by Monday April 15th, 2013. Auditions will take place during the week of April 22nd, 2013.
