Technicians Wanted $20/hr 4 hr min.

BAC (Barishnikov Arts Center) is looking for qualified and reliable freelance technicians.

Pay $20/h with four hour minimum calls and my personal promise that I
never ever cancel people after they have been booked unless the entire
event or show gets canceled. I am also looking for carpenter types since we now have this wonderful new seating riser system which requires some able hands and heavy lifting.

Usually I just book people for one call at first and see how it goes.

Thank you so much.

TALENT and CREW needed for video dance-Paid

Dear friends,

I hope you are well, and staying cool! This summer, I am excited to be working on a new videodance entitled Fünf 'n' Twist, an abstract narrative short about a teenage couple at the prom. Using dance, ritualized movement, evocative sounds and imagery, this classically American rite of passage will be depicted as a metaphor for the adolescence of the country itself as it lurches clumsily towards a cultural adulthood. Last spring I shot the final scenes of the film, and you can see a rough cut study of the ending here on vimeo: .

This summer I am shooting the prom scenes, and I am looking for dancers as well as several crew positions both paid and non-paid. The shoot dates are Thursday Aug 14th and Friday Aug 15th all day from approximately 8am-6pm in Washington Heights.

Below are descriptions of the positions I'm looking for.

Talent:
8-12 dancer extras (male & female) for prom scenes. Must be able to dance (or be comfortable moving), and could pass for a prom-goer. Having your own formal dress or tux is a plus, and you must be available between 8am-5pm on Aug 14th and 15th. Pay will be $75/day. Please send a current headshot/photo to anuse@speakeasy.net.

Crew positions:
Production Manager: Responsible for assisting the director/producer with pre-production planning and managing all the logistics of the production. Will coordinate cast and crew, and stay on top of the budget and time schedule during the production. Must be available 8am-8pm Aug 13th-15th as well as for some preliminary planning work leading up to these days. Fee commensurate with experience. Please send resume to anuse@speakeasy.net.

Production Designer/Art Director: For a '60's era prom scene in a short experimental dance video. Must be resourceful, and able to make magic with a small budget! Must be available 8am-6pm Aug 13th-15th and for planning meetings with the director & DP leading up to these days. Fee commensurate with experience. Please send resume and portfolio/reel to Anna Brady Nuse: anuse@speakeasy.net

Lighting Designer/Grip: Shot-specific lighting for a '60's era prom scene. Must be flexible and able to make magic with a small budget. Must be available 8am-6pm Aug 13th-15th and for planning meetings with the director & DP leading up to these days. Fee commensurate with experience. Please send resume and portfolio/reel to Anna Brady Nuse: anuse@speakeasy.net

Production Assistants: Flexible, strong, energetic, and eager to learn about the makings of a videodance! Must be available on Aug 14th & 15th 8am-6pm. Also need prep help all day Aug 13th. No pay, but a great way to gain experience and skills. You will be given credit on the film and fed!
