de la Cruz Collection

An audition was held at the de la Cruz Collection Contemporary Art Space to cast actors for a performance to be held at a later date (to be determined) this year. Artist-in-residence Xavier Cha will be requiring the assistance of performers and actors for a series of actions to be performed during her residency at the de la Cruz Collection Contemporary Art Space.

Actors were asked to submit by e-mail a headshot and resume of previous performance experiences. These actors were then asked to interpret and perform the following three familiar cinematic gestures while being filmed.

1. The camera is shooting over your shoulder as you stare at your reflection in a mirror moving through emotions of questioning, doubt, fear and searching.

2. Camera on a circular dolly track- you are standing in the center and slowly turn in a circle examining the surrounding space feeling deeply disturbed, alienated, confused, maybe terrified. The space is both familiar and being seen for the first time.

3. Still shot of you looking up to meet the glance of another person- you read and understand their expression, subtly responding with a look of hollow but reserved disappointment.
