We are looking for a highly organized and creative Chaos Show Supervisor to oversee the planning, coordination, and execution of live entertainment productions that thrive on unpredictability and high-energy performances. This role requires a unique blend of leadership, adaptability, and technical knowledge to ensure that even the most chaotic shows run smoothly and safely. The ideal candidate will have experience in live event production, strong communication skills, and the ability to manage multiple moving parts under pressure.
As a Chaos Show Supervisor, you will be responsible for leading a team of performers, technicians, and stage crew to deliver dynamic and engaging shows that may include stunts, improvisation, audience interaction, and complex technical elements. You will work closely with directors, producers, and creative teams to translate vision into reality while maintaining safety and operational efficiency.
Key aspects of the role include managing rehearsals, troubleshooting technical issues in real-time, ensuring compliance with safety regulations, and maintaining clear communication among all departments. You will also be expected to anticipate potential disruptions and develop contingency plans to handle unexpected developments during live performances.
This position is ideal for someone who thrives in fast-paced environments, enjoys problem-solving, and has a passion for live entertainment. Whether it’s a circus-style performance, immersive theater, or a high-octane stunt show, the Chaos Show Supervisor plays a critical role in delivering unforgettable experiences to audiences.
Candidates should be comfortable working irregular hours, including evenings, weekends, and holidays, as dictated by performance schedules. Travel may also be required depending on the nature of the production.
