How are the actors chosen?
At Black Swan we work closely with individual directors to cast all of our shows. Black Swan’s Artistic Director, artistic staff and those directors engaged by the Company generally have a good knowledge of local actors. We also work closely with most theatrical agents in Australia. We usually do not hold general auditions, but local actors are encouraged to invite us to their productions. We do co-productions with other companies as well, and in that case we try to cast some actors from WA and some from the home state of the other company. All cast members are employed on a contract basis, Black Swan does not have any permanent actors on staff.
