AUDITIONING DANCERS THIS WEEK

Auditions are being held this week for dancers/actors roles for the upcoming fall season at Moulin Rouge. We will be doing a variety of small shows and a couple of large productions, including Chicago and the Moulin Rouge Tribute show among others. If you meet the following criteria and love dance, music and roleplay, IM Xanthia Lisle or email me at xanthialisle@gmail.com today to grab an audition spot.


Criteria:

1) Avatar at least 30 days old in SL and knows the basic principles of walking, AO's, wearing items, wearing folders of clothing, using voice, enabling music.

2) Ability to emote - the Moulin Rouge is a Victorian Moulin Rouge, Paris, France roleplay sim. All dancers/actors are required to emote descriptively during shows via text. Voice is only used in the Revue group for direction.

3) Updated avatar appearance - your avatar must have an excellent skin, shape, hair and clothing that is in period. If you need assistance with this, we can help you with shopping.

4) Ability to make the scheduled practices and performances. Performances are usually Saturday Nights at 7pm SL/PST, though for our large performances we will have multiple showtimes, spread usually Friday through Sunday.

5) A love for roleplay - our jobs as dancers don't stop when the curtain closes. We often go out in the crowd after the shows and interact with the patrons. It is advisable that you hang out some at the Moulin Rouge during times when there's not a show. Get to know people. Invite your friends.

6) Renumeration (pay) is TIPS ONLY. We don't pay our dancers, we don't have the money for it... we dance for the LOVE of dancing and doing shows. The better we perform, the more patrons we have in the club, the more your compensation tips wise will be. We do not accept individual tips... All tips go into the dancer jar for split with a small percentage going to the club. The rest is split equally among the dancers after the end of the show. If you leave early, do not count on being compensated.

7) All call for dancers is on a first come, first served basis. When I call for dancers and need a particular number, and they show up to practices and are cast, they get the spots. Occasionally I may call for fill-ins. You are NOT guaranteed a spot in the show. If you fail to make practices, you can plan on being replaced with someone who can commit.

8) Computer Issues - make sure your computer is lag free, your internet connection stable, your connectivity issues worked out, etc. several hours before a show. We do not have time for you to be going nuts at the last minute trying to work out your computer malfunctions. If you crash during a show, come back in asap and /9 TEXT the revue group to be added back to the Huddles.
9) Tardiness - you are considered tardy if you are not dressed and backstage at least 15 minutes before the show for small shows or 30 minutes before the show for larger productions. Xan and her Assistant Directors will give you pertinent show information at that time. You must be on time or you may be replaced by another dancer.
