Las Vegas, NV

Spiegelworld’s DiscoShow is inspired by the spirit of David Mancuso's famous Loft parties which erupted out of the squalor and oppression of 1970s New York and gave birth to disco. The DJ was worshiped and salvation was found on the dance floor. A group of young New Yorkers, from all corners of the city, invite you to join them on a night out as they embrace their lust for life and search for the space where they can live out loud. DiscoShow is an experiential event with a 1970s soul and a 21st century attitude. Set inside a transformative space, this 70-minute live show is unlike any other entertainment in Las Vegas – an intensity of light, sound, LED video, movement, dance, humor and emotion. We are invited to step inside the action with the characters; into their lives, on the streets, at the club - encouraged at every moment to lose and find ourselves in the music. To have fun. And to dance.
Seeking:
Individual DANCERS, CHARACTERS, ACTORS, FEMALE VOCALISTS who are TRAINED DANCERS, well-built MALE DANCERS, and DANCERS WHO ROLLER SKATE.
We're not just looking for performers; we're searching for storytellers who are thrilled at the prospect of working on a show that allows them to have an interactive experience with the audience. The show requires people with an infectious energy and a real commitment to truly engaging with individual audience members.
We require performers with impeccable dance abilities, but it's crucial to emphasize that we're not solely seeking technically precise dancers. We seek artists who can infuse their movements with life, passion, and genuine storytelling. Dancers who can improvise and have fun.

We are looking for folks who can commit wholeheartedly to the devising process. While prior experience in developing new work is preferred, a strong aptitude and willingness to dive into this approach is equally valued.
Spiegelworld welcomes performers of all races and ethnicities, gender identities, and sexualities to apply for all roles.
This is a non-union production.
Roles:
Sheila: Black DANCER WHO SINGS. Sheila is a nurse by day, and a stunning disco diva by night. She is the coolest, most sensual and puckish presence in the club. She is unfussy, understated and there is not one fake thing about her. She slides onto the dance floor and simply belongs there with earned ease. She brings everyone together with obvious power and quiet authority. There is a real political undercurrent to who she is. Strong singing skills preferred (Alto).
Brent: Male DANCER. Brent is an alpha male. Character is well-built/muscular and masculine. A buttoned-up, suited and straight-laced banker during the day; he appears older than he is, and carefully hides his queerness. Then, like Clark Kent, the glasses come off to reveal a confident Disco Superman in muscle-revealing vest, shorts and boots. A brilliant dancer who has amazing moves and freedom as soon as he hits the club.
Roller Squad: ROLLER SKATERS WHO DANCE. Athena, Aphrodite and Apollo: Vibrant, confident, playful nymphs who are the best and most fearless roller skaters on the planet — and are also up for lots of fun and interaction with the audience. Wherever they go, they get the party started! Speed, agility, and precision are vital skills for these roller skaters. We are seeking confidence, safety, and no chaos. Skills should be transferable between skating and dance.
Ake (Cover): 30’s COMIC ACTOR WHO DANCES. Åke is a Finnish disco dance teacher resurrected from the 1970’s and inspired by the real-life television star Åke Blomqvist. A quirky comedic character who uses stories about his strange upbringing in Finland to teach us all the best disco moves. He’s very quick witted. The ability to improvise and interact with the audience is essential. A brilliant dancer too.
Audtions will be held in Burbank and Las Vegas in May by appointment.
