Disneyland Paris looking to cast Irish performers in Dublin this weekend

Know anyone who’d fit the bill?

If you dream of performing as one of the beloved characters of the Disney franchise in Disneyland Paris, then you might want to make yourself available this weekend.

Casting directors from the theme park will be holding auditions at the Liffey Trust Studios in Dublin, and they’re on the hunt for Disney character lookalikes, Disney character performers and parade performers.

According to the audition notice, the character performers need to be spatially aware, energetic, creative and have good physical stamina. The parade performers must have all these qualities but they should also have a “good level of dance”, and “significant training” and/or stage experience. The style of dance they’re looking for is classical or modern jazz.

Additionally, Disneyland Paris are looking for performers who measure between 137cm and 193cm.

The job notice reads: “If you are drawn to the artistic world, your experience in animation, dance or acting could enable you to be part of our magical experiences which make dreams a reality for our guests.

“Join one of the biggest stages in Europe by applying for one of our auditions.”

Disney is looking to fill both short-term and open-ended contracts. The short-term contracts are for a minimum of four months. Those who are successful will need a visa to work in France, and they must be over the age of 18.

The company advises those interested to fill out a profile on disneyauditions.com to save time on the day.

The day kicks off at 9am, and Disney representatives will be outside the studio – which is in North Dock – to assign time slots for auditionees.

While Disney say that they are “confident” that they will be able to see all the auditionees, there is a chance that if numbers fo beyond their expectations, the time slots will be allotted on a first come, first serve basis.
