Audities Jakop Ahlbom Company:
voor de nieuwe voorstelling Le Bal
zoekt Jakop Ahlbom Company 6 Ã 7 spelers/dansers
max. leeftijd 35 jaar / waarvan 3 Ã 4 stagiaires
We zoeken nadrukkelijk ook naar spelers/dansers met een cultureel diverse achtergrond.
De professionele achtergrond kan mimer, danser, zanger of acteur zijn. Belangrijk is dat er
ervaring en talent is in zowel beweging/dans als spelen. Ook een grote mate van muzikaliteit
is belangrijk, we zoeken spelers die ook kunnen zingen.
Andere belangrijke kwaliteiten zijn flexibiliteit, zowel lichamelijk als geestelijk, openheid en
collegialiteit. Er wordt gezamenlijk gewerkt met respect voor elkaar.
Le Bal is een muziektheatervoorstelling waarin het danslokaal de hoofdpersoon is.
In het danslokaal van Le Bal komen mensen samen die op zoek zijn naar liefde, gezelschap
en vertier. Ze dansen, flirten, maken ruzie en vervelen zich. Ze komen en gaan.
De jaren verstrijken, maar het danslokaal blijft bestaan en transformeert
zich steeds naar de nieuwe tijd. Le Bal omspant een periode van 100 jaar: de voorstelling
begint rond 1918, aan de vooravond van the roaring twenties, het vrouwenkiesrecht is nog
niet ingevoerd en het is onrustig in Europa. Le Bal wervelt zich vanaf dat moment door de
tijd, door de jaren en decennia, tot aan het hier en nu.
Le Bal is geïnspireerd op de film van Ettore Scola met dezelfde naam uit 1983.
De muziek wordt live gespeeld door de band Alamo Race Track.
Er wordt gerepeteerd in Amsterdam vanaf december 2018. De première vindt plaats op 22
maart 2019 in theater De Meervaart. Tournee tot begin juni.
Jakop Ahlbom Company is het mimegezelschap van regisseur Jakop Ahlbom. Het
gezelschap maakt fysiek beeldend theater en is uniek in zijn soort. De vaak woordeloze
voorstellingen zijn toegankelijk voor een groot, divers en internationaal publiek. Het
gezelschap toert in binnen- en buitenland en over de hele wereld.
De voorstellingen hebben een unieke en uitgesproken eigen stijl. Jakop Ahlbom gebruikt
elementen uit de mime, de dans, het illusionisme, de slapstick. Hij gebruikt filmische effecten
en vaak live muziek om zo poëtische en betoverende werelden te scheppen.
De auditie is op zondag 13 mei t/m dinsdag 15 mei 2018 van 10:00 – 16:00.
Voor de auditie moeten iedereen een lied voorbereiden om te zingen (a capella of met
muzikale begeleiding op band). Waarschijnlijk besluiten we per dag met wie we de volgende
dag door willen gaan.
Aanmeldingen met cv, foto en (korte) motivatie vóór 20 april 2018 naar Sarah-Faye van der
Ploeg (productie@jakopahlbom.nl). In de week erna laten we je weten of je wordt

Le Bal is a music theater show where the ballroom is the main character. In this ballroom
people come together looking for love, companionship and fun. They dance, flirt, fight and
get bored. They come and they go. The years go by, but the ballroom remains to exist and
transforms to the new time. Le Bal covers a period of 100 years: the performance starts
around 1918, at the eve of the roaring twenties, when the women’s suffrage has not been
introduced yet, and Europe is restless. Le Bal swirls from that moment through time, through
the years and decades, until the here and now.
Le Bal is inspired on the movie by Ettore Scola from 1983. The music will be performed live
on stage by the band Alamo Race Track.
Rehearsals will be in Amsterdam from december 2018. Opening night will be on 22 March
2019 in theater De Meervaart. Tour is planned till June.
