The Walker 2007-08 Performing Arts schedule has Claude Wampler/ PERFORMACE (career ender) for Jan. 24-26.
Based on a review of the show in The Brooklyn Rail and the poster on the Walker blog, my guess would be that they are auditioning for "audience plants".

Funny thing about the Jana Sterbak mention: Walker Performing Arts employs the first model of Sterbak's "meat dress" (a version of which is in the walker's collection.)

the poster says a “national performing artist” – the naked thing – i thought that was in the photography department.

Something to do with the Tino Sehgal show, perhaps?

It’s not the naked photo thing. Spencer Tunick is kind of the Clay Aiken of the art world.

I don't even know and I work there!

I heard you need to bring goulashes and a good pair of clipping shears, though.

(I kid, I kid...)

Jana Sterbak is going to make an entire line of clothing out of human flesh.

maybe it is one of those get a bunch of naked people together in the name of art things

I think you hit on it.

All are welcome - no experience needed

I think with a lot of the volunteers, you'd want to say something like "that's OK, thanks anyway."
