Call for participants: Komagata Maru Actor Call-out

May 8th, 2012     by Julia Horel     Comments

Brown Canada is looking to audition actors for a series of vignettes based on the Komagata Maru incident and related themes of exclusion, questions of belonging and unspoken/unknown histories, among others. Firstly, we are looking for actors to either perform at different venues across the province: 4 performances across Toronto, and 5 outside of Toronto. These projects will be performed at various times from May to July 2012. We are also looking for actors to perform in our final performance, which will take place at the end of June.

Staff at CASSA would set up the performances and facilitate the community dialogues following the performances. We do have a small budget and can provide compensation for the development of the work and pay travel expenses for the actors.

Actor/Performer: Interest or experience in theatre Interest in Canadian South Asian history South Asian identifying preferred Please send a CV/resume to deena@cassa.on.ca if you are interested! Deadline: May 16, 2012 For more information, please call or email Deena Hai: 416 932 1359 extn. 14 / deena@cassa.on.ca
