Now Casting!
1001 Nights is now casting for Pittsburgh PA
1001 Nights is a theatrical Middle Eastern dance performance in Pittsburgh, PA featuring modern and traditional dances from the near east and the silk road. We are casting for individual contributors as well as ensemble and lead roles. Show date is TBD. We will determine our show date based on interest and availability. Target dates are September 8 or 9, 14 or 15, or December 8 or 9. Vote for your favorite and please see the link below for casting.
It is our first year!! Help us make an amazing show!
You may apply as an Individual Contributor, Main Cast or both!
Individual Contributors
Individual contributors can be soloists or group numbers. Any choreography must be work of the contributor or if not, have expressed permission to be used in the show. Dancers are responsible for their own costume and music, as well as travel and accommodations. In person rehearsals will take place one day prior (dress rehearsal) to the show with times to be determined. There is a tech run the same day as the show in the theatre. If possible, all individual contributors should plan on attending both the dress rehearsal and tech rehearsal. There may be flexibility to pass on the dress rehearsal.
Submitted pieces should have a run time under 7 minutes for group, 5 min for solo/duets. All belly dance, and fusion belly dance, and folkloric MENATH styles are welcome. Music does not have to be traditional. Tales can be from all over the world - it does not have to be taken from the original 1001 Nights.
Preference will be given to acts who are on theme, provide a great story and feature or will be fused with belly dance or a MENATH style! All pieces must be family friendly, including music. We request no animals, fire or glitter/scattered materials. An honorarium of $100/act may become available, though there is not a guarantee of compensation.
Main Cast
Ensemble, featured and lead roles will participate in choreographies designed by Berna with lead roles having an opportunity to create solo works within the show context. This is open to professionals, aspiring professionals and dedicated students.
Dancers will be provided limited costuming and some props. Dancers will be responsible for additional personal costuming - for example a red costume or any shade of blue or green costume, gold bra and belt, black mermaid skirt/pants and wrap top - so that there is an opportunity for the dancers to utilize their own wardrobes. Dancers are responsible for their own travel and accommodations. In person rehearsals will take place the 2-3 days prior to the show with times to be determined. There is a tech run the same day as the show in the theatre.
Cast members will be provided with online learning beginning in April. This includes live zoom classes, video based choreography instruction and feedback. The live sessions will be recorded and a library will be made available. The tuition is $450 (can be paid in 4 installments) and covers the in person rehearsals, online instruction and feedback and access to the materials.
Good luck and break a belly!
