The Kiss Kiss Cabaret is holding open auditions on May 20th (12 – 5) for "dancers/ actresses with dance training" to perform in the show. The Kiss Kiss Cabaret has been running since January, 2011 and is a very successful comedy/ burlesque cabaret. The show features live comedy music, magic, juggling, stand‐up comedy and burlesque solos performed by the ensemble troupe; The Kiss Kiss Coquettes. Additionally, the show features Kiss Kiss Cigarette Girls, who act as hostesses for the show, greeting guests and occasionally dancing in the group numbers. The show performs every Friday at the Greenhouse Theater for audiences ranging from $150 – $200 per show.
Auditions are for Female Dancers (or actresses with movement training) who are comfortable dancing in front of audiences and developing burlesque solo dances that will strip down to pasties and g‐strings. (If you are not willing to do burlesque dances, please do not audition.) We prefer dancers with previous dance/ burlesque experience.
Dance rehearsals are Mondays from 7 - 9pm. Attendance is mandatory. Additionally, you would be asked to perform two shows a month, scheduled around your calendar. Call time is 10pm on Fridays. Show is at 11pm. Curtain is usually 12:30am. There is pay for performances. This is an open run show. Our intention is to cast someone who can perform with us for many months and years.
You will be given a 10 minute audition slot to perform a single dance solo piece to a 3 – 4 minute song of your choice. (Note: Bring music in CD or flash drive. Also bring a backup on your ipod or digital music device.) If you do not have a choreographed piece, you may improvise dance to the music piece of your choice. Please arrive 30 minutes early for your slot with any applicable costume pieces for your number. If you do not have a burlesque number, please wear comfortable clothes that you can move in. Auditionees will be notified that evening if you are called back. Callbacks will be held at the Greenhouse on Tuesday, May 22nd from 7 – 9pm. At callbacks, you will perform your solo piece and learn a short, simple choreographed dance routine to perform for the auditors. Cast members will be selected from that final group and notified that night. (All auditionees will receive a final confirmation after their audition.)
