Underground Cinema is looking for new actors (m/f) to join their dedicated, hard-working, and infamous in-house troupe of talented performers!

The UGC Acting troupe holds weekly rehearsals for each Underground Cinema event several weeks prior to the production, often led by guest Directors. The troupe works as an ensemble ¨C each performer bringing their own particular skills to the improvisational work done in rehearsals ¨C so that we can bring the characters, history and sense of space and time of the chosen film to life.

Be prepared: production days can be long ¨C with call times early allowing for professional hair & make-up and costume teams to do their awesome thing ¨C but the thrill of improvising around a base structure, working with trained experienced performers & directors of a high caliber and bouncing off our AMAZING UGC audience makes it all worth it!

If you¡¯ve got a history in improvisation, a passion to improve your craft and get in amongst the pulse of Melbourne¡¯s art and performance scene ¨C this is for you!

Although auditions will be workshop-based, and lead by members of the current ensemble, please prepare a monologue of your choosing to present to the troupe. There is no specifications regarding your chosen piece, just chose something that you enjoy and think shows your talents off best!

Audition dates:
Wed 22nd Feb 2012 between 7-10pm

Be prepared for:
A monologue presentation, physical warm up & theatre improvisation & 3 hours of attendance in total.
