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.TypeSupportingUnionNon-UnionPaying?No - NoneSpot/EpisodeRole GenderFemaleAge Range60-80Ethnic AppearanceAny EthnicityRole DescriptionAt first seems to give

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.TypeLeadUnionNon-UnionPaying?No - NoneSpot/EpisodeStudent FilmRole GenderFemaleAge Range40-60Ethnic AppearanceEast Indian, Middle EasternRole DescriptionAn American-Indian housewife who wants
