Inquiry: "Carnival" Performers
I'm currently in the process of planning an event at the Starlite drive-in as part of the Dark Carnival Film Festival.
There are three aspects of the event: films (check), bands (check, including Ari Lehman's "First Jason"), and volunteer "performers."
We're looking for volunteer performers who are comfortable working within the facade of the ideas of early 20th century traveling carnivals and circuses, ie:
bellydancers,
snake charmers
tattooed men
siamese twins
poi/fire spinners/eaters
those who can walk on glass (or are willing to walk on SFX glass)
those who are generally interested in "carnie" expressions/appearances
The evening will be flexible, with time to perform for small audiences, or on stage between performances. Ideally we'd like a minimum of two hours, and obviously the whole time will not be spent performing (more vignettes leading up to the film feature); we're very flexible to people's needs. Though the positions are voluntary, we can work out free passes + free food/drinks + swag bags.
This event is going to be totally amazing; the drive-in was absolutely one of the most fun and well-received events last year, and we'd like to make this year huger and more amazing.
If you or anyone you know would be interested in this, please contact Ashley at info [@] darkcarnival film fest [dot] com
