Five performers needed for dancehall play

Posted on September 25, 2012

Choreographer Cindy Claes is looking for five performers based in or around Birmingham for a dancehall play that she is writing and directing: a Jamaican re-adaptation of The School for Wives by Molière.

Cindy (pictured far right) is looking for two male performers for very different characters Andre and Romain, and two other dancers, who can be male or female, to play Stacey and Norris/Norrisha, who are loud social, arty, emotional extroverts. The dancers must be able to speak Jamaican patois but can be of any ethnicity. 

If you are interested in being part of this comedy dance theatre piece, email your photograph, CV or videos to cindy.claes@gmail.com
