You would be working with professional theatre and film creatives to produce a multidisciplinary experience that merges dance, original music and narrative, shot with a 360 camera and ambisonic microphone. “The Mirror '' is produced by Elgalen Productions and sponsored by City of Seattle through the smART Ventures Grant. Its final cut will be available on Oculus, HTC Vive, and Youtube VR. The film is written and produced by Seattle University Film Studies Professor and screenwriter Josefina Valenzuela Cerda, and directed by Seagull Project Artistic Director, Gavin Reub.
Shooting is scheduled for early Fall 2021 over the course of 3-4 days, and will take place in the Seattle area. Rehearsals will take place over the two weeks leading up to the shoot. Specific dates for rehearsals and shooting will be subject to cast and crew availability.
Understanding the current situation with COVID-19, we will be following enhanced health and safety requirements and procedures for our cast and crew during rehearsal and shooting.
Preferably, the choreographer would also play one of the two roles. But are open to all applicants and encourage Choreographers to apply even if they do not feel they are appropriate for either of the dancer roles.
*We support diversity across voices and creators, and we strongly encourage women, BIPOC and LGBTQ+ people to apply.
A list of roles is available below. The age ranges/attributes listed are those of the characters, not necessarily the dancers. They are just a guide to help you decide which roles you may confidently audition for.

For initial auditions, dancers are asked to prepare a video package of two 20 second combos. Please keep each video to 20 seconds or less.
A classical ballet sequence
A modern sequence
These can be pieces of your choosing or your own choreography. If you are interested in auditioning to choreograph the piece, then please develop your own sequences. All folks auditioning should include a slate at the top of the video that includes your name, pronouns (if you’d like to share), what role you are auditioning for, and if you are also auditioning to be the choreographer.
