The Living Canvas is holding auditions on Saturday, June 7, 2014 for its 2014 summer production in Chicago. Seeking actors who are strong movers and/or dancers, and singers of all genders, ethnicities, and ages to create a piece about the body and mind’s relationship with drugs. This is a physically demanding show requiring stamina and strength, but all body types will be considered.

The Living Canvas is an ensemble whose mission is a celebration of the beauty of the human body in all its forms. We perform in the nude, lit only by vibrant digital slides photographed and designed by Pete Guither. Auditions and rehearsals are fully clothed with the highest regard for actor comfort and safety.

Email casting@thelivingcanvas.com to schedule an audition slot. Please bring H/R, wear clothing suitable for movement, and be prepared to cold read. If you are a singer, please prepare 16 bars to be sung a cappella.

This year’s production is being written by The Living Canvas company and co-directed by Lisa Adams and Jack Dugan Carpenter.

Rehearsals will mostly be on weekends. Performance dates will be Friday-Sunday evenings, August 1-17 at The Den Theatre.
