We would need the CSM to be able to call the show and also operate the sound q’s. They will also need to do some of the liaison with the venues with regards to the show and the food, prior to arrival and during set up.
The person should have excellent interpersonal skills and be able to represent the company in a professional and friendly manner at all times.
Circus Experience is an advantage but not essential as this is a theatre piece.
Full UK Drivers licence.
Please send a cover letter and CV to aerialist.acrobat@gmail.com and annasand@yahoo.co.uk , we will then arrange a conversation shortly with anyone shortlisted.
Please only apply if you are available for all the listed dates and the get in day prior to each show.
Crashmat Collective are a Cardiff based company that investigate original concepts and experiential live performance; Circus-theatre that blurs the boundaries between performer and audience.
Façade is an intimate and theatrical three course meal, during which, stories unfold about the waiters in a restaurant. All of the staff in the restaurant are the performers and they serve the customers their drinks and food in the ‘mundane’ world. Each person’s story is told through the soundtrack over the mundane world in which we can hear their thoughts; and through a series of vignettes in ‘magic reality’ where circus and heightened performance are possible. The action happens around the audiences, on their tables and is very up close.
Façade offers an in depth circus-theatre experience that blurs the boundaries between performer and audience.
Crashmat are supported by: Arts Council of Wales and this production is in association with Wales Millennium Centre, The Riverfront and Creu Cymru.
