[Job-Listings] Paid Performance Opportunity for Deseret Experimental Opera Company!

[David Andrews]

>
>Dear all, Deseret Experimental Opera Company is 
>looking to authentically cast a blind female in 
>their production in March! They would prefer 
>someone local to Salt Lake City, Utah, but they 
>are open to casting someone in a virtual 
>position to prerecord their part, as well as to 
>be present during the live performance virtually 
>possibly. They write the following: We’re 
>seeking a performer to play the role of Elsie 
>Pierath, a blind Danish woman who lived in Salt 
>Lake City starting in 1903. The opera is fairly 
>short, and as the name suggests - experimental. 
>Our goal is to record the opera portion (due to 
>COVID-19 safety concern) in early March prior to 
>the performance on March 19th-20th. We also will 
>have dancers embodying the characters, and would 
>love to have help crafting the embodiment and 
>portrayal of Elsie. There will be elements of 
>experimental dance, spoken dialog, singing, etc. 
>involved in the production. Perspective 
>performers need not necessarily have dance 
>experience as the choreographer is making the 
>dance more pedestrian in nature, and we are 
>flexible to the person not necessarily doing 
>dance, depending on what we decide for the final 
>performance. It would be ideal to have the music 
>recorded sometime between the week of March 8th 
>and March 15th. We have approximately 10 tracks 
>of experimental opera recorded. The composer 
>might be available for coaching or recording a 
>rehearsal track for the performer. Logistics: We 
>can promise $400 for performers. Interested 
>parties should send audio and/or video 
>recording, along with resume and headshot to
