Wayne Parsons Dance (UK) is Looking for Male Dancer-Actors for a New Crime-Drama Production
Wayne Parsons Dance (UK) is looking for male dancer-actors for the creation, premier and tour of its new production—a full-length crime drama titled Out Late.
About Out Late
Out Late follows fiercely closeted Sebastian as he falls in love with ex-army chef Vinnie, a charming but violent ‘out-and-proud’ gay man. Sebastian tries to hide his new relationship whilst his controlling ex-wife Fifi secretly watches them fall in love, seething. When Vinnie is murdered, what unfolds is a twisted story of jealousy, shame and revenge.
Following the company’s tour of Vestige and Meeting (★★★★ The Guardian), Wayne has reassembled the creative team of writer Ankur Bahl and dramaturg Pooja Ghai to collaborate with him on the script for Out Late. Using Wayne’s unique approach to melding dance and theatre, Out Late promises to be a dark and compelling story told through movement and text.
What we’re looking for
We are casting for the characters of Sebastian and Vinnie.
The roles require performers who are skilled at finding character from a script. As the work includes a full script, we require performers who are able to deliver text in English on stage. Successful candidates will also be comfortable with partner and floor work.
These characters require a playing age of 27 years or older. Please do not apply if you are younger than 25 years old.
We encourage and welcome applications from dancers of all backgrounds. We particularly welcome applications from Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic performers.
