Where did this casting call come from?
Male 18 to 40
Charlie. Aerial ropes specialist and mentor with a wiry magnetic presence. Dry humour grounded disciplined wounded yet charismatic. Lean expressive movement comfortable with basic dance partner work and faking acrobatic movement. Emotional foil with romantic tension opposite the female lead
Male 46 to 60
Tim. Flamboyant costume maker and mentor figure. Warm witty camp affected protective uncle presence. Larger than life playfully sarcastic calm in chaos
Female 56 to 70
Elaine. Ringmistress of the troupe. Commanding strict yet motherly. Androgynous look essential. Authority on stage and off with a sharp eye and steady hand
