EVOLUTION CASTING.

We specialise in casting for stage and screen. Based in so-called Australia, Evolution Casting are experts at casting with a deep understanding of craft, technique, diversity and inclusion.
Using our Company Mission, we aim to help our collaborators and stakeholders evolve. We are committed to creating casting experiences that embrace inclusion, enhance representation, and captivate audiences, expanding their perspectives on the world.

Conscious casting, or 'identity-conscious casting,' acknowledges and integrates an actor's identity within the casting process, enhancing the character's relationship to the text and story. While some still use 'colour-blind casting,' which erases the importance of identity, Evolution Casting often rejects this approach. Instead, we collaborate with the creative team to ensure that even when working with classic texts, our casting choices support positive representation and respect actors' identities, whilst maintaining a sense of imagination to expand what we know the text to be.

When identity is not central to the storytelling, Inclusive casting allows for boundless creative freedom, envisioning any actor in any role without constraints of past portrayals or stereotypes.
This approach remains aware to each actor's unique identity by always being paired with conscious casting, ensuring a nuanced and thoughtful representation.

Representative casting recognises the importance of a character's identity to the story, striving for authentic portrayals.
When identity is specified in the text or casting brief, Evolution Casting is dedicated to casting actors who can genuinely connect with and represent that identity.
