Professional adult dancers interested in applying for a dance role can e-mail Production Co-ordinator Zosia: zosia@worldofwearableart.com. If you meet the model criteria we encourage you to also audition for a modelling role. Any further questions, please contact Wardrobe Manager Leonie: leonie@worldofwearableart.com.

If you are selected in the May audition you will then be invited to the 2nd round of auditions held in July. In this round of auditions we also invite past WOW models to audition.

At the end of the July audition, we will select a smaller group of models to stay and participate in a workshop. The final selected group of models will be asked to attend fittings in August. It is likely all models who attend the fittings will be allocated garments, but we cannot guarantee this.

Yes, this is a paid role, payment is dependent on the number of garments you are selected to wear, this is determined by garment fit and model/performer movement capability.

• Rehearsals start in August and continue through until the Show opens in late September. 100% commitment to all rehearsals and Shows is absolutely essential.
• There are six sections in the Show, each section is rehearsed on different days of the week and you will be called in only for the sections you are cast in, most models/performers are required 3-4 evenings and 1-2 weekend days
• Rehearsals generally run Monday to Thursday evenings 5:45pm – 10:30pm and Saturday and Sundays 10am-6pm.

We are not able to confirm this until early 2019.
