COME LIFE Film: Auditions for Shaker Community Dancing

Hello!

I'm a grad film student, making my thesis film for the Film Directing Program at
California Institute of the Arts. The film is based on Hawthorne's short story "The
Canterbury Pilgrims".

In the film we are doing a section of a Shaker Dance ritual. We need singer/dancers to
create a Shaker community, who will sing a cappella and dance two or three different
dance songs, and we are holding auditions THIS SUNDAY, TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY. No dancing
experience is necessary. However, the ability to carry a tune is a must.

We will be rehearsing twice or three times per week in the Pittsfield and Albany areas
starting April 6, and we will shoot for three afternoon/evenings, sometime between May 25
and June 1, at Hancock Shaker Village.

If you are interested in being a part of this work, please respond to the request below
in an email addressed to castingcomelife [dot] org

For more information, please visit our website: www.comelife.org <http://www.comelife.org>
and please feel free to forward this email to anyone else you feel would be interested.

Thanks so much for your interest, and Good Wishes!
