Performers for the Olympic Ceremonies wanted

London 2012 seeks more volunteer performers for the spectacular opening and closing ceremonies.

After successful auditions in November where over 10,000 people attended, the London Organising Committee of the Olympic Games and Paralympic Games (LOCOG) still have a few remaining places for this once in a lifetime opportunity.

In particular they are looking for more men - especially if they have rhythm. This could mean dancing, drumming or any sport, job, or hobby that involves keeping to time.

Previous performance experience is not required. Ceremonies volunteer performers simply need lots of enthusiasm, personality, a positive attitude, huge amounts of energy and a willingness to perform in front of a stadium audience and to millions of people around the world.

To deliver ceremonies of this scale to a world audience a big commitment is required. You must be able to participate in an audition that will take place in February 2012 and up to three rehearsal sessions each week from April 2012 as well as a number of all-day rehearsals in the three weeks leading up to each ceremony.

The application period is open until January 9 and you can register on the London 2012 website.
