The Pool Chorus
We are seeking community members for Black Swan State Theatre Company’s upcoming tour of The Pool by Steve Rodgers.
We are looking for community members to help bring our show to life. You don’t need any acting experience, rather we are looking for people to populate the pool and help build the experience for the audience in non-speaking roles.
The chorus feature as members of the local community, helping to build the visual hustle and bustle of an active swimming pool. They also take part in some guided moments that help focus the audience’s attention. Examples of this might be standing frozen during a monologue or moving through the water together. You will be supported every step of the way by a Chorus Captain, who is a performer from the original Perth season, and there will be four evenings of rehearsal to make sure you are confident and comfortable with what you are doing.
Please note, this is a paid role.
This is a unique opportunity to be part of a large-scale site-specific work, working alongside a team of creatives and contributing to the audience experience.

ABOUT THE POOL
THEATRE YOU CAN BRING A TOWEL TO
Set at your local swimming pool, The Pool invites you to immerse yourself in an intimate experience as you eavesdrop on the conversations of ordinary everyday people through a personal headset.
A mother tries to connect with her adult daughter.
A man continues his rehabilitation to strengthen his knee.
Two teenagers find privacy in a lie to their parents.
Bombies in the deep end while the lifeguard isn’t looking, water aerobics classes, hot chips and choc milk, The Pool is an exploration of life as we know it and a celebration of our public spaces that create community. It is a delightfully voyeuristic experience, raw and relatable in every way.
