Job Details:

Seeking performers for an outdoor immersive children’s LARP (live-action role playing) adventure for summer camp program, Camp Half-Blood. 

Actors play larger than life mythological characters set in the modern-day, not far from the Percy Jackson universe (think Hermes in running shorts instead of a toga). Each week you could be a God, a Hero, a Villain, a Monster, a Nymph, an Oracle, or a combination of these. Everyone must feel comfortable engaging groups of kids, ages 6-12, in improvised in-character dialogue and LARP, or boffer-style, combat (with safe foam weapons) in an outdoor environment on Quest Day, a once-a-week full-day adventure. The ensemble will consist of a team of actors who collaborate with a Quest Director to bring each storyline to life for their particular camp location

Camp/Company Details:

Inspired by the world of Rick Riordan’s Percy Jackson and The Olympians novels, Camp Half-Blood is at the heart of Plato Learning’s mission, ‘Adventure Powered by Story.’ By bringing tales from mythology, history, and fiction to life, we plunge our campers into the center of the action. They are transported to another world and given the chance to prove themselves as Legendary Heroes.

We don’t just re-stage these age-old tales, we re-frame and re-purpose them into something new that our campers can experience for the first time. There are (foam) sword-fights, puzzles, negotiations, and performance challenges as they journey to complete their heroic Quest.

Pay Details:
$16/hour

Minimum time commitment of 10 hours/week for the summer camp season. Pre-season training and rehearsal time will be compensated. Camp season length is dependent on location.

Location/Date Details:

Brooklyn, NY – June 7th- August 20th
Manhattan, NY – June 28th- August 13th
Staten Island, NY – June 21st- July 23rd

Sydney (female, 23-27) – any ethnicity, overly dramatic in a soap opera kind of way. If you are able to do your hair up to make it look really big that is a plus.

Father Callahan: (40-50s) – Irish preferred. Ability to play a stern priest in a comedic setting. Irish-accent or fake Irish accent a +

We are casting two actors for the documentary ANOTHER BODY. Information below:

• Fee: $250 – 300 p/p.
• Location: NYC
• Taylor: 18-23, White / European Descent
• Julia: 18-23, Latino / Hispanic and/or White / European Descent
• Required Media: Headshot
• Useful Media: Video of actor speaking, with full face visible, minimal makeup.

Julia and Taylor are central characters in the documentary film ‘Another Body’. Both are US college students in their early 20s, who are seeking justice after finding deepfake pornography of them online.

*This is not an acting role. Julia and Taylor are real people, and we’re looking for someone who could help us protect their identity in the film. Like in Oscar-nominated Welcome to Chechnya, we are using deepfake technology to protect our contributors’ identities. The actors will be what’s called a ‘face veil’, and their features will be mapped onto the original footage by our deepfake artist Jarkan. We will film the actors for a few hours capturing different light, expressions, angles.

ANOTHER BODY is directed by Reuben Hamlyn (BFI/BBC’s ROGER) with Sophie Compton (Fringe First Winning FUNERAL FLOWERS) and produced by Elizabeth Woodward (Oscar shortlist Netflix’s THE GREAT HACK)

Note: This film will not depict any explicit content. However, we will include pixelated images from the original pornographic footage, and close-ups from this in which only the face is visible. Please only apply if you are comfortable with this.
