Performing artists
Actors
Alumni from the Faculty of the VCA & Music School of Performing Arts have been lighting up Australian stages and screens since the school's birth. The Artists Booking Service has access to current students and recent graduates who have honed their craft at this unique institution. Clients often book VCAM performing artists to:
- produce interactive and dynamic roving performances
- provide role-plays for their corporate workshops
- to take part in screen and stage performances, or
- provide workshops for workplaces and conferences.
If you need a dynamic, young and talented actor, the Artists Booking Service is the place to look!
Dancers
Performers from the Faculty of VCA and MCM's School of Dance can be booked to choreograph and perform original dance work for your event, provide sustained roving performances to add colour and movement to your function or facilitate movement-based workshops for conferences, seminars and workplaces.
A dance performance can provide a great centrepiece for your event. Artists Booking Service choreographers will develop an original dance work that responds to your theme, location, purpose, and audience. VCAM has produced some of the most outstanding choreographers and performers in Australian dance over the last three decades; this is a great way to access the original and innovative talent the school has fostered. The dance work will be developed in consultation with you and will usually be 4-7 minutes in length. Your guests will always remember the performance that made your event really stand out.
Artists Booking Service can also provide dance-based workshops, to energise tired conference attendees, to foster better communication and trust between work colleagues and to generally add to any team-building efforts your company may have initiated. Artists Booking Service can develop a workshop to achieve the aims you have for your workplace, conference or seminar.
Roving performances
Roving performances can lend flair and pizzazz to your event. Our rovers can be positioned as a static feature, where their costumes and choreography provide a striking installation of bodies. Alternatively, our roving performers can offer movement-based interaction with your guests, along a narrative that best suits your function's theme.
Roving works are a more ‘casual’ approach to entertainment, with dancers full costumed but fairly loose in their interpretation of the theme – two or more performers will have organised a set of appropriate thematic movements established prior to your event and will, over the course of a 20 minute set, using the basic principles that support dance- variety, repetition, contrast, balance and unity – to interact physically with each other, the venue and (if appropriate) your guests. The general idea of a roving performance is for it to function in the background, much like ambient music.
Performances consist of two twenty-minute 'sets' per hour booked. A minimum of two performers are required per act booked.
