[Capdist-auditions] Looking for Lighting Designer/Assistant

[willia8]

Hi,

I am an RPI Ph.D. in Electronic Arts as well as a professional artist 
performing sound/video works mostly in NYC and SF. I am working on an 
art/science, multimedia dance performance called SleepWalks: The Body of 
Dreams with Ellen Sinopoli Dance Company that is also my dissertation 
project (funded by a NYSCA grant and Kickstarter). It takes place at the 
Chapel + Cultural Center in Troy, NY on October 21st and 22nd at 8pm. I 
am the art director/video/sound person, and I could really use help with 
lighting design. I have ideas, but I cannot be in all places at once. I 
am hoping to find a dedicated lighting designer, or someone 
knowledgeable about lighting who wants artistic direction, to assist me 
with balancing the lighting with my video projection. The show is about 
an hour, and we plan to use minimal lighting changes with the dancers 
performing behind the black sharkstooth scrim. Lights/grids are already 
set up to move around. This is an excellent opportunity for someone who 
wants experience working with multimedia arts, lighting, and a superb 
dance company!

Our funds were mostly used to pay for my SleepWalks collaborators to fly 
out, the dancers, and the scrim (black sharkstooth 11'x24'), but I can 
pay $100 and make sure that credits are given to the lighting designer 
in the program notes and our Facebook/Kickstarter updates.

Our rehearsal dates are October 5th-22nd. There are 10 of them plus the 
2 shows, but once lighting is figured out, the rehearsals for lighting 
tech will be shorter or not necessary even. Rehearsal times are: Mondays 
(9am-1pm), Wednesdays (9am-11:30am), Tues-Thursdays (6-10:00pm).

For more info about the performance please go to our Kickstarter page at 
https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/soundwalks/sleepwalks-the-body-of-dreams.

If interested please email me at willia8 at rpi.edu with Subject line 
LIGHTING with a paragraph about your lighting skills/background and 
availability during rehearsal times with your phone number. I can be 
reached at: 212-300-7970.

Thanks!,
