Cirque Du Soleil is hiring across all positions in Montreal. All you have to do is submit photos, a video, and your resumé. Visit MTLBlog for more headlines. Are you looking for a job? Well, the biggest circus in the world is currently holding an open casting call for professional artists with strong physical acting skills. The Montreal based entertainment behemoth, Cirque du Soleil, wants you to be in their next show. So if you've always dreamt of being on stage, dangling from the rafters or being catapulted across a room, this might be the job for you. The call is open to all artists (of any physical body type, "giant and small") with experience in theater, clowning, mime, magic, contemporary dance, circus disciplines, music, and singing. If you've ever caught a Cirque show, you know the bar is set high and they only accept the best. Every show is truly a masterpiece from their insane choreography to physical feats the body shouldn't be able to do. For applicants who make it through the first round of a virtual audition (check out the requirements below), the physical audition will be held September 24. This is a general audition for all roles in current and future shows. So if you're over 18 years old, are incredibly bendy, have perfect balance, or pretty much any skill that leaves an audience with a childlike wonder, then dust off your camera and apply. Ok, so here's what you will need for the first round of auditions. You can apply online here. Your resumé, Two photos only (one headshot and one full-body shot), A video presentation no more than 1 minute long: please give your name, age, general background and the reasons for your interest in joining Cirque du Soleil, One or two video clips, no more than 8 minutes long each, on stage or in the studio, demonstrating your clowning or physical acting skills, Other videos: if you wish to show us a particular skill, now’s the time!
