read moreFrom today (28th June) until 11th July, Hong Kong theme park Ocean Park is auditioning prospects for 500 performance roles at its upcoming Halloween Bash party.
Prospective performers are responding to an open call to audition in appropriately creepy costumes in order to feature in a fashion catwalk show from which a judging panel will select performers.
Ocean Park is also recruiting more than 500 operational staff to handle the extra guest traffic during the seasonal presentation.
Successful candidates for the backstage vacancies can earn up to HK$234 per hour, depending on the position, their talent and experience; while performers and models can earn up to HK$130 per hour with up to an additional 20% of salary as bonus, according to individual performance.
Ocean Park Events & Entertainment Director Eva Au Yeung explains "to complement the theme of this year's Halloween Bash as the hippest horror fest, we have for the first time created a number of modeling positions. The successful candidates will strut down a catwalk in fearsome fashion as part of our Scaremonies presentation. The candidates will be evaluated on their modeling techniques."
"Over the years, a broad range of talents have joined us to present the most frightful and fun celebration for Halloween fans from all over the world. Among our alumni of performers are professional actors and models, full-time students, sports instructors, flight attendants and more.
"As always, we are looking for fresh blood, who are passionate about engaging guests through their performances or helping us elevate the fright factor in various production related positions."
Halloween Bash has also grown to become a unique nurturing ground for theme park talents. Many people who shone during their tenure in Halloween Bash eventually became permanent members of the Ocean Park family.
Positions to be recruited during the open auditions include: performers, stunt performers, extreme sports specialists, singers, musicians, dancers, gymnasts, jugglers and models; and backstage positions such as house and stage crew, performer leads, stage managers, area coordinators, talent coordinators, house coordinators, designers, roving escorts, drivers, technicians, animatronics specialists and dressers.
A judging panel will evaluate talents on the scariness of their catwalk skills, acting skills, and impromptu reading. Their final score will be based on their performance, special talents and relevant experience.
Other park operation roles, including retail and food and beverage positions, will be recruited through the Labour Department's website and other recruitment channels.
Depending on the job duties involved, successful candidates will undergo a series of training on performance, make-up, etiquette for engaging with guests, and protocols for handling contingencies. The successful candidates will start their month-long tenure of terror in late September.
Candidates must be 16 years of age or older.
