Stilt Guys Mark Lefebvre and Kyle Sipkens, Biz X Award Winners
announce Talent Search to find
The Next Stilt Girl(s)
Registration at www.stiltguys.com/NextStiltGirl
Open Auditions started Feb. 1st and end Feb. 28th to combine tryouts in dance, improvisation and singing with public appearances as popular troupe looks to expand their roster of performers once again. Professional contracts will be offered to those who successfully make the cut.
Sipkens states “Bringing enthusiasm and
likeability are qualities as important as proficiency with dance, music,
improvisation and circus arts. ‘Street theatre on the tradeshow floor’ is what
our corporate clients expect with audience interaction being our core strength.
All ages and demographics respond to our larger than life charm and the ability
to cleverly deliver corporate messaging in various characters will help us
determine who to hire and train.“ He also says “And we DANCE! This is physically demanding work and our
motto ‘Charisma + Stamina’ means bringing Wow Factor every time.”
The initial audition took place Saturday,
February 1st at the Dance Studio at Absolute Fitness for Women where
hopefuls tackled basic choreography as well as having a chance to improvise.
On Thursday, February 6th they will have fun singing
karaoke at Carparelli’s Sound Lounge. Wrapping up the tryouts at the end of the
month they will appear at the Windsor Express basketball team’s final regular
season home game at the WFCU Centre on Friday, February 28th.
“In
2012 we hired three new performers and our business just keeps on growing!”
says Lefebvre “Lindsay Bellaire has been a fan favourite and a role model for many young girls.
She is now concentrating on training in Toronto as an aerialist and we want to
find a few more talented women who live up to our (literally) high standard.” He
says “This 10th season for Stilt Guys has been awesome with us entertaining
crowds at major festivals and appearing at the opening ceremonies for the International
Children’s Games. We easily doubled the number of event bookings and have just recently
cut a long-term deal with Motor City Casino in Detroit. Expanding into the US
is a game changer!”
