If you want to win a part in a musical with Annette Heick in the leading role now is your chance. Can you deliver a funny, but still convincing poledance, an open audition is waiting for you. You don’t have to be slim nor have a specific gender. Humor and no stage fright is what they want.
The lucky poledancer will win a part in the musical Elsk Mig I Nat X-mas, which is a musical full of Christmas and 80’s hits. It is a follow up to the first one Elsk Mig I Nat, named after a Danish 80’s hit song.
You will be comitting yourself to two seasons starting 11th of November 2011, but first you need to convince three judges that you are exactly what they are looking for.
Annette Heick, leading role: I am looking for humor more than actual skills and a combination of selv confidence and humbleness. Be prepared, but don’t overdo the sexual element. We all know what pole dance originallly is so no need to overdo that "something". I am not looking for a particular sex or body type, though.
Kenneth Kreutzmann, director: I am looking for the odd thing, humor and crazyness. Not too nice, as nice quickly becomes boring. Think creative about what pole dance is and surprise us. I am hoping to see a broad field and not just super slim 18 year olds. If the person can also sing it would be fantastic, but not a requirement.
Stine Kronborg, pole dance expert: The actual technic I am not looking so much after, but one who can sell him or herself and get the audience along. Body size doesn’t mean that much as I have seen plenty of overweight who was capable of doing "upside-down". One just needs to dare. Forget about what other people think of you and give yourself 100%.
