Non-SAG male actor or performance artist wanted in San Jose for prestigious week-long festival of new media Aug 7-12 2006

Seeking:

REMEDIOS THE SQUIRREL CUB: 21-40 year old male, indie-rocker type in a squirrel helmet/head piece and tail, who acts as Karaoke MC, ice cream truck driver and master of cheap magic.

Think “Ghost World” record store salesman: stooped, slightly morose, and quirky. Remedios is the ice cream truck’s best friend, its driver, master of ceremonies and should know bad magic tricks involving handkerchiefs, smoke cookies, knots, sleights of hand, smoke and juggling. As he is mute, physical acting abilities are a must.

Karaoke Ice is a public art project by award-winning artists Marina Zurkow, Katie Salen and Nancy Nowacek. It will premiere in San Jose for the ZeroOne: Art on the Edge Biennial August 7- 13, 2006 (http://isea2006.sjsu.edu/).

Karaoke Ice is part mobile karaoke recording stage, and part ice cream truck, giving away free icy pops and providing a karaoke stage for audiences to perform popular songs recomposed in the vernacular of tinkly ice cream truck music.
More info on the project and artists’ bios are available at http://www.o-matic.com/isea

In-person auditions will be held July 8th and July 10th at the Montalvo Arts Center in Saratoga (nr San Jose).

There is a $1000 flat fee for the position.
The festival runs from Aug 7 -13, 2006
The hours will approximately be from 2-10pm each day. There will be breaks.
We will want to do some rehearsing before the festival.
You will need a driver’s license.
You will not be wearing the black mime suit depicted in the picture. You will be wearing
variations on a swimming costume.

Email resume and full body shots and any applicable skills (i.e. experimental mime, magic tricks, gymnastics, etc) to:
