(NEW) Agamenon Choruses.
Send resume and picture to Alexander Harrington at alecharrington@yahoo.com. Or hardcopy to: 160 Claremont Avenue, #2J, Attention: Alexander Harrington, New York, NY 10027

The Eleventh Hour Theatre Company is seeking male and female dancers and singers all ages for a workshop of the choruses from a new translation of the Greek tragedy Agamemnon. The workshop will consist of four weeks of rehearsals in February with performance for an invited audience on the evening of Sunday February 27th. There will be four 4-hour rehearsals a week, probably during the day, with a fifth rehearsal during the final week. There is a $100 stipend. As was the practice in ancient Greece, the choruses of the play are set to music and involve dance and other stylized movement. The translation by Alexander Harrington with music by Michael Sirotta was produced at La MaMa in 2009. It was difficult for the audience to understand the lyrics. This workshop is focused on addressing this problem: among other things, elaborate choreography will be assigned to people who are not singing. All chorus members must sing and move adequately. However, some performers will do the more demanding dancing and only have to sing adequately and others will do the more demanding singing and only have to dance adequately. All performers will have to act well enough to tell a story through song.

Seeking: male and female dancers and singers all ages.
