Cirque du Soleil Auditions, SF & LA in May

Cirque du Soleil is seeking new talent for its thirteen current productions and up-coming creations and will be holding auditions for dancers in Los Angeles and in San Francisco in May 2007.

"The Cirque du Soleil Casting Team is continually on the lookout for talented new artists. Their scouts search the globe for outstanding performers who are ready to embark on a new adventure. Since 1984, Cirque du Soleil has carved out a special niche for itself in the world of performing arts. Through a mix of street performance, circus arts, dance, theatre, music and song, Cirque du Soleil has given life to a magical new universe," states press notes.

"Holding auditions is the primary means by which Cirque du Soleil recruits new talent. The Casting Team is eager to return to California to discover local talent and the best way to do so is to give artists the opportunity to meet with us directly."

While in Los Angeles and in San Francisco, the Cirque du Soleil Casting Team will be specifically seeking professional dancers with strong technique, stage experience, improvisational skills and versatility.
