Slightly OT for our Cirque-du-Soleil-auditioning-for-martial-artists because pole dancing is not a martial art...

They are just looking for Trickers and Wushu peeps. If you audition, ask for Phillip. And if you get cast, remember who tipped you off (all I want is some comp passes to your show). :cool:

Note that Kung Fu Tai Chi is no longer involved with the casting process for Cirque du Soleil. Truth be told, I haven't really thought about them much recently beyond the article I did with Philip...

Consider the circus. READ Philip Sahagun on CIRQUE DU SOLEIL by Gene Ching

If you apply, mention you found out via KungFuMagazine.com. We've had some success in the past placing performers in Cirque.

See the Disneyworld Sports website for more.

...and all the overweight people probably take clown roles. They don't solicit me for clowns. Too bad, eh? I think I have more access to clowns than martial artists, at least around here...:p

I'm not sure for which role. I think it might be for the lead warrior. Here is what they're looking for (very similar to the last call).

• Sexe: Male
• Age: 18-35 years...

I think the Haights are contracted for two years - that's a standard Cirque contract. Given that the show opened this year, they still have about a year and a half to go before they opt to renew. ...

Those extra pounds would probably snap your rigging line. No wire fu for you, SLL

I've been contacted by Cirque again, this time for the coveted lead role of the twins in KA, currently being played by wushu champions Cheri and Jennifer Haight (see my last Shaolin Trips piece or...

YuanZhideDiZhen: Dralion is and always has been a touring show. Like all of Cirque, it's also a live show, which means that it evolves depending on the artists in that particular production. Also,...

I've been contacted by Cirque Du Soliel about an opening in their show Dralion for the part of Yao. It's a martial role.
We covered Dralion five years ago when it premiered.
For more Dralion...

You should hook your buddy up. Surely you can give him some private lessons and get him up to speed in two months :eek: . Nevertheless, if cirque is his dream, far be it for any of us to stand in...

mst: Cool. You must let me know how it goes for him.

bkh: Not cirque - they do it all in the air. That's why no fear of heights is important ;) .

b: Live perfomance is always more real than...

Unfortunately most masters like Shi Yanming or Tu Jin-Sheng are too busy to join Cirque. Cirque needs the kind of talent that can commit to such a live show. They need talent that has a lot of time...

As some of you might remember, I wrote an article about martial arts and Cirque du Soleil back in Oct 2000. Well, I'm working with them again to help promote their worldwide casting call...
