Seeking dancer-actors for workshop of a new play with dance. - Cameron Barnett

Writer/Director/Choreographer Cameron Barnett is seeking to build a diverse cast of performers to workshop "The Toymaker," a new evening-length play with dance. Roles vary across a spectrum from acting-heavy to dance-heavy, so artists of all strengths are encouraged to submit materials. This workshop process gives artists the opportunity to develop original characters-in-motion in a collaborative but structured rehearsal environment.



About the play: A young girl navigates the performance of growing up in the ever-changing dreamscape of “The Toymaker,” a genre-warping play with dance. Characters from childhood stories collide as glimpses of dance-theater, pantomime, musical theater, contemporary dance, ballet, and puppetry tear into the forefront before being eclipsed by the next. A toy soldier, a confectioner, and an evil queen each have a role to play in this sugar-dusted game of make-believe.
