HERE IS AN OFFERING FOR ANYONE WITH A

SERIOUS INTEREST IN LEARNING STAGE COMBAT
SKILLS.
I don't know anything about this group other than
what I am posting here, so this is not an
endorsement.

***

Good afternoon!

My name is Nicky Jasper, and I am a Certifed Stage

Combat Teacher with the Society of American Fight
Directors. I teach stage combat at Columbia College
here in Chicago as well as privately through Open
Gate Movement Arts. I wanted to reach out and see
if you might have any Lincoln Park High School
theatre students that would be interested in stage
combat training! Our company's mission statement
includes providing accessible stage combat and
movement training to the Chicago community, and
that includes to our younger acting friends as well.

We have an unarmed stage combat class beginning

next month that just opened registration and would
be a perfect entry point for any young actors
interested in combat or physical theatre work in
general. This class culminates in a certifcation test
with the Society of American Fight Directors and
offers the opportunity for certifcation! I will include
some pertinent information below as well as a gyer
for our upcoming class. Please let me know if you
have any questions! I'm happy to chat about
additional stage combat opportunities if you have
interested students as well.

Class Information:
Unarmed Skills Pro0ciency Class
When:
Saturdays from 1-4:30p; April 12th-June 29th, 2024
(no class on Saturday, May 25th)
Where:
Bethany United Church, 4250 N Paulina St, Chicago
60613
Tuition:
$490, which includes your Skills Profciency Test
fee. A non-refundable $50 deposit is required to
secure your spot if not paying in full at registration.
Your deposit will be put towards your total tuition
cost. BIPOC scholarship and payment plans
available!

Thank you for your time!

Sincerely,
The Team at Open Gate Movement Arts
AKA: Dave, Kate, Mikey, and Nicky

Hello!
Thank you for your patience during this crazy week.
Just a couple of announcements before we launch
into today (Wednesday):
1.) I have gotten some questions, making me think I
should repeat my announcement regarding tickets
for the musical. Unfortunately, because this is a
Performing Arts production (not just Drama) Drama
students are NOT admitted free to performances.
Student tickets are $8. Shows are 4:00PM today,
and 6:00PM Thursday and Friday.
2.) I am not exactly sure what will be happening in
the auditorium for class today. If the show is in
progress, I ask that you enter quietly and take a seat
quickly. I will try to take attendance as you enter (or,
possibly, as you exit.) Thanks in advance for your
cooperation.

UPDATE TO THE AUDITION INFO I POSTED

TUESDAY

We have made 2 changes to the casting call I sent

you earlier this week that affect audition times and
character descriptions for one of the characters.

Specifcally, the 17 year old male role (Razor) is no

longer limited to minorities as long as the actor is
able to project a streetwise, tough guy persona.
And auditions have been extended to next week by
appointment - same location and contact
information.

HERE'S AN AUDITION OPPORTUNITY FOR MALE

ACTORS OF COLOR:

Lincoln Park School

To Whom It May Concern
We are looking for two minority (Black, Hispanic or
Asian) male actors for a feature flm scheduled to
be flmed between March 16 and March 31 in
Chicago.

Character Descriptions:
MALCOLM: athletic 16 year old minority foster
child. He is mature, wise and kind.
RAZOR: a streetwise 17 year old minority foster
child. He is a bad /tough guy who is also a ward of
the state

The Screenplay
An edgy comedy, the flm is about a burnt out actor
left with a houseful (7) of foster kids when his
humanitarian wife leaves unexpectedly.

About the Filmmaker

Maura Smith is a professor in the flm division of
Columbia College. She has worked with multiple
genres of flm across her career though she is
probably most associated with feature
documentaries and music videos. As a friend, I can
add that in addition to being professional, she is
also fun to work with.

Logistics
Most of the scenes with the kids will be shot on the
weekends. There will be one shoot during the week
of March 25 which may require the kids to skip
school, if they are not on spring break that week.
This is a low budget flm, but Maura will pay each
child $300 for each day they are participating in
actual flming - probably 4-7 days. A more detailed
shooting schedule will be available from Maura this
week.

Audition information
Auditions will be held
Thursday February 22
1:30-5:00pm
Friday February 23
From 12:30pm -9:00pm
Saturday February 24
From 9am - 7pm
680 N Lake Shore Dr. #1104
Chicago Il 60611
Contact:
Maura Smith
mauraclairesmith@gmail.com
Please email Maura if you intend to audition along
with an approximate time range for your arrival and
for which role you are auditioning
