PERFORMING STYLES
The Flesh Pot, 2073, Corny’s Cornevil, The Singularity & Necropolis
There are five attractions and a Street Theatre team at Hallowscream, all with different styles of performance. Corny’s Cornevil, for instance, requires very physical performers who can respond and adapt quickly to the ever changing environment within a high impact maze, whereas 2073 requires actors with great improvisation skills who can interact and engage with the up-close audience.
It’s hard work, and on some of the attractions it’s also cold and wet. You may be working outdoors, but shelter is always nearby.

WHAT HAPPENS AT THE AUDITION
The audition is in workshop style. There will be games, exercises and activities that will help us to identify whether you are suitable for our team and also which sort of Scare Performance style suits you best. The workshop is energetic, hard work, but most of all, fun!
SPECIAL REQUIREMENTS
The designs of the attraction spaces mean that we only have limited scope for people with certain mobility restrictions. However, still contact us and let us know the requirements you may have for auditions or if you were to be offered a position, and we will try our hardest to realise a solution so that you can perform if you pass the audition stage.
SCREAM TRAINING
If you are successful in your audition, you will be invited to attend one of the ‘Scream Training’ days. This is the second and final round of the audition process.
DATE: Saturday 28th & Sunday 29th September 2024
VENUE: York maze, Elvington Ln, York YO19 5LT
TIME: 9.30am – 5.00pm (ALL DAY)
IMPORTANT: SCREAM TRAINING IS MANDATORY. YOU MUST BE ABLE TO ATTEND ONE OF THE SPECIFIED DAYS. IF YOU CAN NOT, DO NOT APPLY.
There are NO circumstances that would allow a performer to be cast without attending Scream Training. This is still an audition – please do not be complacent, the training must be taken seriously and is a requirement for our insurance and health and safety.
