Seeking STRONG dancers with puppetry experience (not necessary but a plus) and puppeteers with STRONG dance ability between 411” and 52” and 56” and 59” for Fraggle Rock: Back to the Rock Live, a new live touring show based on the Apple TV series. Characters will be brought to life using full body costumed versions of the Fraggles with mechanized mouths and hand puppet sized versions of the Doozers, oversized elements for the Gorgs and new puppets all built by the world-renowned Jim Hensons Creature Shop

GOBO: (56”-59): Our sweet (always!) and fearless (usually!) leader, who lives to explore the seemingly endless caves and tunnels of Fraggle Rock with his friends. Gobos always up for an adventure and a song, and his optimism is infectious in the Rock though occasionally his stubborn nature can get in his way. MUST BE A STRONG DANCER AND PHYSICAL ACTOR. PUPPETRY EXPERIENCE A PLUS.

MOKEY (56”-59): a gentle, caring, curious soul, in tune with the natural world and always looking to make a connection. She sometimes relies TOO much on her intuition, which can get her in a jam, but shes also undeniably tapped into something special and loves yoga, meditation and any kind of art. MUST BE A STRONG DANCER AND PHYSICAL ACTOR. PUPPETRY EXPERIENCE A PLUS.

RED (411”-52”): Red is a ball of Fraggle energy who likes to dive, spin, run, and whoop her way through the day. She occasionally loses herself in competition and has to dial it back but is ultimately a strong, dependable friend and tireless engine for fun in Fraggle Rock. MUST BE A STONG DANCER AND PHYSICAL ACTOR. ATHLETIC SKILLS AND TRICKS A PLUS! PUPPETRY EXPERIENCE A PLUS.

WEMBLEY (411”-52”): Wembley is a Wembler” – he has trouble making decisions but its usually just that hes so enthusiastic and excited about all of the fun things to do in Fraggle Rock, its hard to choose! Sometimes, he doesnt speak up for himself, but hes working on that! And in the meantime hes the most positive, fun, ridiculous friend you could ever hope to have. MUST BE A STRONG DANCER AND PHYSICAL ACTOR. PUPPETRY EXPERIENCE A PLUS.

BOOBER (411”- 52”): Boober imagines all that can go wrong in Fraggle Rock, and then some. Its not like hes a pessimist; in his mind, hes a realist! So sure, Boober has a bit of a doomsday streak, but really, preparing for disaster helps him feel safe. That, and a good soup! (Hes an incredible chef). Boober is sensitive, caring, fastidious and always good for a wry comment and is also wildly talented at doing laundry. MUST BE A STRONG DANCER AND PHYSICAL ACTOR. PUPPETRY EXPERIENCE A PLUS.

PUPPETEERS: (EITHER 4’11 – 5’2 or 5’6 – 5’9) will perform hand puppet versions of Cotterpin Doozer, Architect Doozer and others as well as oversized puppet elements

NOTE: PUPPETEERS WILL ROTATE INTO THE FRAGGLE ROLES SO STRONG DANCING AND COSTUME ABILITY IS A NECESSITY AS ARE THE SPECIFIC HEIGHT REQUIREMENTS
