Available Roles
  • Dance Instructor - Female / Supporting / Any Ethnicity / 60-80

    At first seems to give
    stern care to the couple, helping them to become closer. She fixes and bends the
    posture of Huma according to her husband’s. Through her stiff interactions with
    Huma, we see a deep desire for Vishesh and a contempt for Huma as a result.
    *OTHER NOTES: The removal of some clothes in the dance scene may be required,
    but no partial or full nudity will be needed for the film. The costume design will
    ensure this, actors can expect to wear somewhat revealing skin-colored dance
    costumes. For Huma HERSELF, dancing experience is A PLUS, but is NOT required.

  • HUMA - Female / Lead / East Indian, Middle Eastern / 40-60

    An American-Indian housewife who wants
    to save her marriage and keep her role of mother intact. She begins to realize that
    there is no love left between her and Vishesh, and that she needs more purpose out of
    life than just her duty to family.
    *Note: This character is written to be either Hindu or Muslim. The story is an
    examination of feminism and women’s personal strength in such religions. It can be
    compared to the classic feminist play, A Doll’s House. We want to give opportunity to
    women of these faiths.

    Vishesh is neither a cruel man or an

    when their elderly dance instructor shows signs of attraction toward him.
    *Note: Vishesh’s religion will match that of Huma, but this role is open to actors of
    any faith who are South asian and match the age.
