The 17 days of the Vancouver 2010 Winter Olympics have come and gone. For Vancouverites, this was a very special time of incredible athletic events and celebrations. For myself, I had the unique opportunity to participate in not only all the event viewing and celebrating, but also in the performance of the closing ceremonies at BC Place Stadium. Back in December, I received an email through a friend from the casting crew of the ceremonies. The cast was short men and they needed more to apply. I thought this would be a pretty unique opportunity, so I went ahead and applied.
A week later I received a phone call to say that they would like me to come down to the ceremonies compound where I, along with many other men, would be partaking in an audition. The audition was lead by the ceremonies head producer David Atkins (David Atkins Productions). He lead us through this silly little dance & movement routine. He wanted to see how we moved and followed instructions. In essence, it was a movement screen- similar to what we do in our assessments except without all the music & dance moves 
After the audition, we were told that they would call us back within 1 or weeks. I never heard back from them after 2 weeks, and I and thought it would never happen… But it did happen- find out how next week in Part 2 of Wrangling Zorbs at the Closing Ceremonies. Same Stayfit time, same Stayfit channel…
