Actors/extras wanted to be passengers for aircrew training
Casting no. 75517 - All regions, UK
| Casting complete: Applications now closed. |
You will play the roles of victims and disruptive passengers for our clients for security training
We specialise in security training and run courses for aircrew around the world in the handling of hijackers and disruptive passengers.
We have at least two more such exercises planned for 2009 and are in need of a few actors/extras. Each exercise lasts between 2 and 12 hours, depending on the needs of our client.
The exercises normally work best when we shock participants. As such, we swear a lot, are racially abusive to participants, use blank firers, and implement traditional hijacker tactics.
Given that we can't actually be violent to client staff, we normally use actors as the main victims.
Usually we have females play the roles of victims (but male applicants are also welcomed) who are verbally and physically abused. Given that the clients staff can't actually see what goes on unless it happens next to their seat, (as they are playing the roles of the other passengers) we have to repeat each action in different areas of the cabin.
Improvisation is key; there is no script per say. We need somebody who can cry for help, try and persuade passengers/crew to intervene on her behalf and who doesn't mind being physically touched (obviously not indecently) by hijackers and who can keep this up for hours on end.
Clothing is provided for this role and it is usually torn. We make every attempt to avoid nudity, but excessively modest applicants need not apply.
However no full nudity actually required.
Previous participants need not apply. This listing is to add to those we have already used.
For one of the projects we can only use people who have never been in an exercise before.
We are not auditioning for hijackers. These roles have already been assigned.
Details:
---------
We shall be auditioning in London on the evening of September 1st (probably in Twickenham).
The first confirmed exercise is on 22nd of October. The second confirmed exercise is on 8th December. Both are overseas.
Only apply if you are happy to bring your passport to the audition. You will also be required to advise your home address and present a utility bill (bit like hiring a video) in your name. This is for security purposes.
Usually, the actors are flown (from London) to the venue a day before the exercise and then return the day after. Naturally all flights, accommodation, visa and meal expenses are covered.
We will notify those people short-listed for audition on Tuesday 26th August.
If you wish to apply, please let us know:
--------------------------------------------
a) Your nationality.
b) If you are available on the 1st of September and either the 22nd of October or 8th of December.
Payment details: We pay £100 per person per exercise, regardless as to whether or not a rehearsal is required the day before the exercise. We pay a nominal £5 per person selected to attend auditions to cover travel expenses only if an invoice is submitted at the audition.
