If You Have Balance and the Right Experience This Could Be Your Dream Job

Those in the entertainment industry have had a bit of a struggle due to the COVID-19 pandemic. A lot of entertainment venues closed temporarily, and it has been challenging.

One entertainment option that could be done safely because you are socially distanced is stilt walking. The fact that the stilt walker is high above everyone else does make it a safer option.

Are you a stilt walker? Have you been looking to get more work? Have you dreamed of working for Walt Disney World? If you have answered yes to any of these questions, this could be the perfect opportunity.

On the Disney auditions page, they are looking for stilt walkers. There is part-time and full-time work available. You must have experience already, so if you are looking for a new passion to get into and never having still walked before, you will have to pass on this.

 

You must be in the central Florida area to be considered. Before COVID-19 auditions looked much different. You would go to a specific place with other entertainers who were auditioning as well. Instead, now you submit a video. This could benefit you because you can ensure that you have the best footage sent in.

Here are all the details below and how to submit your audition.

 

Disney Live Entertainment is seeking performers 5’8″ and taller with stilt walking performance experience for shows and parades performed live at the Walt Disney World® Resort near Orlando, FL. Seeking performers local to the central Florida area for part time, and potential full time work.
