There are no specifications as each viscous liquid interacts differently with different skin types. Discretion is left up to the performer. 4. I will host a private livestream when everything is prepared. The performer should be dressed in the closest approximation of school attire. Surprise me with your own choice of lingerie. 5.

This has nothing to do with modesty, I do not care how much skin you show. A robe or a large cloth like a sarong will do. 2. Have both performers facing each other, seated. Have twenty knives and two tape recorders situated between the both of you. Have a camera recording the whole performance, such that both bodies and all the action can be seen. 3. Start the first tape recorder. Partner A will hold a knife, partner B with their hand on the floor, fingers splayed. Partner A will then jab the knife rhythmically between partner B's fingers, until the knife slips and cuts partner B. 4. Then, toss the knife and repeat, until all 20 knives are used. Stop the first tape recording. 5. Play back the first recorder, start recording with the second recorder, and now both partners are holding a knife. Partner A will recreate their earlier performance, aiming to jab and cut partner B at the exact same moments as played back by the tape recorder. Partner B will do the exact same, now to partner A.

Director's request: We are looking for a total of 50 performers to be a part of our production. It is a grand, sprawling cyber-drama as part of an interactive performance that takes place on various social media sites. You must be comfortable embodying a range of characters, from morally righteous conservatives to radical progressives to nihilist trolls. Each performer will themselves play multiple roles, to form a sprawling web of intricate relationships over the course of this six-month experiment. The script will be updated live depending on the changing mise-en-scene as performers interact with the public. But under no circumstances should the performer break character, for they will forfeit any and all compensation, even as they might harrass others or spread lies as part of their role. This will not require all of the performer's time, about perhaps two hours' worth each day. This will be reflected in the rates up for bidding. A sample script is attached for your perusal.

Director's request: We are willing to pay to watch people in free fall. Rules: - There will be two cameras. One portrait filming the fall from afar, the full length of the drop visible. Another mounted to the falling performer, like a Go-Pro. - The performer is not allowed to be harnessed. - The performer can arrange to cushion their fall through whatever means necessary.

Director's request: This is a live gig. Your task is to be a dog for a week. We are looking for eleven performers to spend one week at the director's abode, all expenses paid for (food, lodging, hygiene, entertainment). There is nothing explicitly fetishistic or violent expected of you. Should you choose to engage in such activities, it is contingent on an understanding between you and fellow performers. All that is required is for you to act as a dog, and to follow the director's orders as such, for a whole week. Character is not permitted to be broken at any time, and all questions will be answered through correspondence or the briefing before. Actual dogs will be on-site that can serve as reference points for you. There will be a three strikes policy for unsatisfactory performances. Upon the third strike, the performer will be asked to leave, their payment pro-rated to the time spent performing, docked by 25%. Should the performers carry out their duties satisfactorily until the end, a bonus of up to an additional 50% of the negotiated rate may be awarded for exceptional performances.

To apply for directorship, please prepare a statement showing you have at least 500,000 coins. 2. A coin is equivalent to a dollar in your own currency. 3. Once you are in an auction room, read the director's request. You must make a bid. 4. There is a tentative range to indicate what our algorithms believe to be how others are bidding just before you submit your bid. It is done in increments of zeroes (eg. 10, 100, 1000, 10000 etc.). 5. If your bid is successful, payment in full will be credited to your account. 6. In the event you are unable to fulfil your end of the bid, coin may be taken back from your account. 7. Yes, you can go into coin debt, as was covered in the terms and conditions, which also lays out the penalties for such an occurence. 8. Any additional bonuses will be added accordingly after the performance has been fulfilled to the satisfaction of the director. 9. Have fun! </center>
