Auditions at Sway bar upstairs from 4pm to 6pm where Paul will be present to pass more details. We are unable to answer any more individual questions as they will be covered at the venue. It's a paid role and those that are cast will be contacted by the film producer post casting on the offering.
Meeting with Paul can be booked via the option Vampire MOVIE Casting and does not give access to the event as the casting is a collaboration to elevate the movie opportunity available and give dance talent an opening they can use to enhance their career.

Designers
Dominika Kowalska
My name is Dominika and I’m an artist and sustainable designer. I came to the fashion industry because of my love for nature and to be the change I want to see in this world/ to change it cause it’s one of the most polluting industries in the world. In my practice I love to use upcycled leather and innovative alternative textiles like biomaterials (alginate etc). For me textiles and movement are a form of expression that’s why visual storytelling is so important to me. I love using contrasts, duality and avangarde in my work. Over the years I acquired lots of experience, especially on set working at LFW for the past 3 seasons. Now it’s my turn to be on the other side of the show- as a designer. In the future I would love to orchestrate my own runway show and pull all the strings./ In the future I want to dress other artists and connect over craftsmanship.

Joao
Sunbalanci is a vision of art and how it reflects on our inner thoughts of self discovery. A mirror that presents the possibility of rebellion against what people think you path should be. It shows what can you create and build with the power of confidence.
This brand was built on Joao, creating the courage to step out of my noise bubble, that was holding him back from achieving my full potential. Sunbalanci is how he needs balance in life and stability, so he can cultivate his skills and enter the chaos of the world with trust in myself and power enough to serve my purpose in life.
