Orlando character breakdown + casting considerationsĪudition Material: Please prepare one (1) contemporary monologue (under 90 seconds) of your choice and one (1) short poem of your choice presented as a movement piece (appx 90 seconds). An intimacy choreographer will collaborate to craft these moments. There are several moments of intimacy (touch, kiss) in the script between Orlando and several other characters (Sasha, Queen Elizabeth, Marmaduke, Archduke/ Archduchess, member of the chorus). Production: This production will be physical and use movement creatively. A dreamy adaptation of Virginia Woolf’s famous tale, Sarah Ruhl’s Orlando is a magical and poetic dance between gender and through time, a fantastical world in which courtly movement and biographical narration combine to tell the story of a being who lives outside of human expectations, and enjoys twice the experience that humanity has to offer.

As Orlando adapts her bold, free demeanor to the strict and hampering skirts and expectations of feminine behavior, the changing world around her - from Victorian England to the busy department stores of the 20th century - illustrates the mutability of man and woman, and instinct of each to fit their place and time. But after a mysterious nighttime encounter, Orlando sleeps for seven days, and wakes to live again - as a woman.
Synopsis: Orlando, a beautiful charismatic nobleman, has enjoyed a lifetime of adventures: he becomes the favorite of Queen Elizabeth the First, he dallies with many fine ladies, losing his heart to one mysterious Russian Princess, he wanders Shakespeare’s London and endures the chill of the Great Frost, he travels to Constantinople, where his reputation for spectacular debauchery is indeed vast.
