OPPORTUNITY: SET AND PUPPET DESIGN INTERN
Necessity Arts Collective together with Ping & Woof Opera seeks a
SET & PUPPET DESIGN INTERN
to assist with their upcoming children’s opera proudction
The Child’s Frightful Fantasy
The project: children’s opera, The Child’s Frightful Fantasy
When an angry child defies his mother, destroying his room and torturing animal friends instead of finishing his homework, the broken furniture, wounded pets, and even disgruntled Mr. Arithmetic himself decide to teach the boy a lesson! The twenty characters in Maurice Ravel's whimsical opera are imaginatively portrayed here by just five singers. Best of all, children (and the young-at-heart) in the audience can join the performance as a sing-a-long chorus. With the aid of puppets and a design inspired by American pop-art icon Roy Lichtenstein, this 45-minute production will surely delight children, parents and teachers alike.
What we need from you:
As mentioned above, the visual design for this production is inspired by Roy Lichtenstein’s work. While we know what puppets, props and set pieces we need, we are team of choreographers and singers without a lot of skill when it comes to making things with our hands. Thus we are seeking some one dexterous to help us build these objects and make them look beautiful.
Budget:
There is a total budget of $1,000 for this project, which will be raised through a Kickstarter campaign running mid-September through mid-October.
Who:
When & Where:
Work to begin at earliest availability; schedule is flexible.
Rehearsals run 30. October - 1. December at location TBD in Portland.
Performances run 4. - 10. December at locations including the Beaverton Library, St. John the Baptist Episcopal Church, and Cedar Hills United Church of Christ.
Compensation:
This is an unpaid position. All participants (director, singers, pianists) on this project are volunteers.
