“Hei$t” Directed by Bridie Doyle-Roberts

 Performers wanted 

Citrus Arts are casting for circus performers for their new show “Heist”, which will tour to Welsh theatres in spring 2012.

Contract dates are 1^st April – 2^nd May 2012

 We are interested in acrobatic duos and solo circus artists of any discipline, who are able to work as part of a theatrical ensemble. 

(Please take note the smallest venue has a stage of 8m x 6m, with a rigging height of 6m so we cannot accommodate any acts which require large stage spaces, motor winches/counter-weight systems)

This is a great opportunity for open & collaborative circus performers willing to learn from and work with actors and dancers. Successful applicants will be greatly encouraged to contribute to the devising of the work.

Fee: £375 per week; Citrus Arts can arrange shared-house accommodation in Cardiff, if needed.

Only artists with manipulation and/or acrobatic skills, additional to their specialities will be invited to auditions in Bristol on 8^th Feb (1-4pm).
