the ad
=====================
Dancers(All Styles)/Jugglers/Acrobats/Contortionists/Magicians/Aerialists/Sword Swallowers/Blockheads/Puppeteers
Anyone with circus/sideshow/carnival/vaudeville skills or talents! Be they traditional or unconventional!

Our newly formed group is actively recruiting performers to join our little horde. The backbone of our project thus far is a gifted and rambunctious circus band, which has been working on the music that will be the foundation of this whole endeavor.

Our goal is to form a scale-able performance troupe that can draw on an array of people depending on what kind of gig we have lined up. We’ll be doing everything from guerrilla outdoor gigs to music club shows to larger scale productions. As such, we are on a mission to find some people that really want to join us in realizing this dream. We’re always going to be open to (and will often need) people that only perform with us on a show-to-show basis, but ideally we’ll have a ‘core’ group of performers at every show, and then we’ll expand and contract as needed.

We have our first gig lined up for April, and more planned for this spring and summer, so things are really getting off the ground. However, we are still gestating, so in adding your talents to our crew, you’ll be an important part in contributing to what we hope will become a tremendous force of entertainment here in Boston.

If you're at all curious or interested, please send us some information about yourself and what you do, and let us know how you'd like to be involved.

Sounds cool. Is there anyway we can set up a meet in person?

i'm interested. sar, how do we contact them?

[Blue Hair Sar]

I have his email address... I'm thinking we should designate only one person to do the main communication with him, so he doesn't get bombarded with circus folk...

Tara, would you be up for that? I probably could if you don't want to.
OH, maybe he'll be at the burlesque thing, an dyou can actually talk to him there?

here's a link to some of our music. they aren't actual recordings of us (those are in the works), just computer sequenced versions. feel free to have folks listen to them, and maybe some could work for your show if you like what you hear. there's also the possibility of us being able to learn a song or two "on-demand" if someone had something in mind, but we'd have to talk about that in greater detail.

i'm trying to put together an informal audition/interview type meeting in two weeks on weds. feb. 28. i know it's a trek, but is there a chance some of you might be able to make it?

glad you guys are into this!

So far, I can do that. I got a job offer I'm probably taking though, so who knows what my schedule is going to be like...
