Rivers of Light Animal Kingdom

New details surface on Rivers of Light Show in Disney’s Animal Kingdom…

The “Rivers of Light Show” is the new immersive nighttime experience coming to Disney’s Animal Kingdom in spring 2016, will combine live performances with beautiful floating lanterns, water screens and grand theatrical imagery, in a celebration of animals and nature.  The event begins with the arrival of a pair of Shamans, two complimentary forces who come to the river bearing gifts of light.  Along with their Acolytes, or assistants, the Shamans set out from the shore on elaborate lantern vessels, engaging in a dramatic dance of water and light to summon the animal spirits.

The information leaked via the Disney Auditions site where they are currently looking for CONTEMPORARY and BOLLYWOOD-STYLE dancers for featured roles in a new offering at the Walt Disney World® Resort, near Orlando, FL. These silent narrators orchestrate all the action to convey the spirit of an ancient and timeless celebration.  Choreographed by Ulka Simone Mohanty.


Disney is seeking the following roles:

Male Dancers:  5’9″ and above.  Strong mover, agile, strong physical storyteller.

Female Dancers:  5’3″ and above.  Strong mover, agile, strong physical storyteller.

One thought on “New details surface on Rivers of Light Show in Disney’s Animal Kingdom

  1. This is something that I am eager to see! Animal Kingdom is my favorite park at WDW because it is so full of Life. I still find something new every time I go there. I plan on going to see the presentation a little bit after it debuts, so some of the “bugs (pun intended!!)” are found and tweaked. This is just the shot in the arm the park has needed. I am also looking forward to finally seing the Tree of Life, glowing in the night, as well. Cannot wait for this to begin, Chip!
