20 to 24 non-speaking roles (2 roles for children), performers may be
cast in multiple roles, dancing and non-dancing. All roles require ability to move freely and
integrate into choreography. Choreographers sought, and ideas for additional
acts will be considered for inclusion. Puppets
are adult-sized, perform dance routines, and controlled by “invisible” puppeteers
dressed in black. 3 to 4 “shadow-hands”, dressed in black, perform in
background to assist the visible performers.
