    They don't care about ethnicity...

    ...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...

Through a mix of acrobatics, circus arts, dance, theatre, music, singing and street performance, Cirque du Soleil has given life to a magical new universe. With its original music and performances, Cirque du Soleil always tries to challenge the very limits of the human body and spirit.

    Important information:
    Once your complete application is submitted, a Talent Scout will evaluate your material.
    If you are selected to attend the live audition on October 27th, you will receive an email invitation with additional details including the address.

    Please note that:
    Cirque du Soleil will not pay for any expenses you incur by attending the audition.
    This is an audition for roles in our current shows and upcoming creations. If you successfully pass the audition, you will be considered for positions that best suit your profile and skill set.

    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 Sahagun posted above. I'd love to work with them again, but I suspect they have it handled now.
