The Young Persons' Theatre Company is looking for hair
and makeup artists department for our next stage production, Flamingo Blues, a new musical which will be staged at an off
West End venue in July 2007.
The production began life as an independent film,
which writer Victoria Howell and director Robbi
Stevens produced in 2002 and which they have now
adapted into a new stage musical. Taking its
inspiration from the film noir genre of the 1940s and
50s, the story is set in the Chicago of 1952, and
tells a story of power and corruption, murder and
double cross in a contemporary take on a classic
style. Flamingo Blues is the first stage musical of
its kind, and one which has already had a great deal
of interest from the industry.
Following the 1950's theme, our designer is looking to
replicate styles with a cartoon/comic book edge, which
gives a vast design scope and a chance to really play
with the characters creatively. The hair and make-up
artists will be involved in liasing with the designer
and individuals will have the opportunity to put their
own creative flare into style for the production. You
must have a good eye for detail and willingness to
work well with a team.
Please note that we are specifically looking for hair
and makeup artists so please state any skills or
specialised areas you have.
Flamingo Blues will be YPTC's third major stage
production and follows on from the success of previous
shows, Bugsy Malone at the Lilian Baylis Theatre,
Sadlers Wells in 2004, Requiem for Tomorrow, a new
musical at The Shaw Theatre, 2006, and the Era of
Youth Showcase at RADA in July 2006. We have also
produced two short films, Invalid Debris (2003) and
Sting (2004) both of which have been very well
received.
As we have limited funding, the positions will be
expenses only,£4 per day, but you will gain the
experience of working on a professional stage
production which will attract large audiences and
publicity, as well as the opportunity to work on the film set in
April filming a trailer/ music video for Flamingo Blues and finially
future stage and film productions with YPTC and our
associate film production company Rustic Spirit
Productions.
