Calling all circus hawkers, barkers, street performers and entertainments! Gaslight Gathering, San Diego’s First Steampunk Convention is seeking roving entertainers for their 3-day history-making convention at the Town & Country Hotel in San Diego, California on May 6-8, 2011! All ages, timezones and artistry!
We are seeking a roster of turn-of-the-century/steampunk-themed (and costumed):
Contortionist(s)
Sword Swallower(s)
Clowns (Clown Alley?)
Fortune Teller(s)
Hand balancer(s)
A One-man Band
Hawker(s)/Barker(s)/Character Walkers:
P.T. Barnum?
Wild Bill Hickok
Dr. Who(?)
Also want performers that provide something completely different and unique to our turn-of-the-century Steampunk environment.
Because of space restrictions – no tumblers, jugglers, fire-acts, flying acrobatics, stiltwalkers or live animals.
Your act needs to be completely self-contained (all props, equipment, etc. should have the ability to be picked-up and relocated) as these are moving/roving performing spots. All entertainments will receive their compensation on a pass-the-hat (busking) basis. Acts should be available all three days of the convention.
