No, you don't have to hunt down aliens... But you do get to wear a cool black outfit during performance!
In case you are wondering what am I going on about - I need volunteers as stage assistants to help with our Taihen In Malaysia project. The Stage Assistants are called 'Kuroko" in Japanese because they are dressed in black. Their presence is very important but they cannot be seen.
As for Taihen In Malaysia project - this is a collaboration between Japan Foundation Kuala Lumpur and The Actors Studio to develop performing arts by the disabled in this country. We are working towards phase 3 of this project which will culminate with performance by Ms. Kim Manri (the Artistic Director of Taihen) and disabled performers from Japan and Malaysia.
Currently we are training the Malaysian performers at the Spastic Center, Jalan Barat every Tuesdays between 11am - 12:30pm. We need volunteers to provide support for the disabled performers, both physically and emotionally. The volunteers will be trained on how to support them and their services will be needed on Tuesday mornings (it's ok if you are unable to make it every week - we can work out a schedule) and also during the performance in March 2007.
Interested to be a Kuroko? - E-mail nalanantha@yahoo.com
Please refer to my Taihen In Malaysia reports to learn more about the project.

Does the job come with a black suit and cool Ray-Bans? A black Mercedes will do fine too.
But seriously, the hours where you need volunteers will be tough for regular hour wage earners. Perhaps students will be ideal. Tried posting at the local colleges?
Hope you get your people in black. I'll support in spirit from here in Dhaka :-))
