Want to Perform at Spice!Spice! offers performance opportunities for burlesque artist (male and female), comedians, circus artists/ sideshow artists, and musicians. We are always looking for talented performers to work with.
Here are the basic steps to getting booked:
- Come see our show-- If you haven't seen the show, then how do would you know you want to perform with us? Checking out the show gives you a feel for our audience, how big the stage is and what kind of acts we book.
- Talk to us-- the executive producer (The Luvely Rae) or a Ciona Taylor staffer is present at every show so say hello. We like making friends.
- Lend a helping hand-- producing is a lot of work and though we have a fabulous staff we can always use additional help with online marketing, dropping off postcards, linkshare, videotaping, and stage kittens.
- Take a look at the submission details for your art form.
- Spice! is a monthly variety show which means there are only so many slots. You many not get a reply to your submission for a month or two but that doesn't mean we forgot about you. If you are worried we forgot about you and it's been 6 weeks then drop us a line at casting@cionataylor.com and refresh our memories.
