Kaigai Cabaret Application
About the event
About the application
Come one, come all, and enter into AWA's Kaigai Cabaret - a place for you to relax, imbibe, let down your hair (or perhaps tie it up?) and enjoy a night of glamorous decadence! Come watch as idols-by-day shed their frills for a sleeker and more sexy approach to performance.
We are pleased to open applications for our first Kaigai Cabaret! This show is focused on more mature themes and performances, and is strictly 18+. Performers are encouraged to bring the sexy ideas that shy away from daylight in favor of stage lights! While our shows are focused on Japanese and idol music and media, we will consider each application carefully and equally, and overall theming and creativity will be prioritized.
Terms & Conditions
Performers will get around 10 minutes (~2 songs) on stage in our 2 hour event and the opportunity to sell merchandise and meet their fans at a meet & greet after the show, as well as sell merch at a shared booth all weekend long (all sales at the merch booth must be SFW). All performers are REQUIRED to attend a soundcheck for two hours prior to performance. Performers for the Kaigai Cabaret must be 18 or older. This performance may have flashing lights and will feature nudity and sexual themes. Performers must be wearing nipple covers and thongs at the least.
Date/time TBD
*Please note that you and all your group members need a valid AWA Membership to participate.*
The deadline for auditions is Sunday, May 17th, 2026.
Acceptance, rejection, and waitlist emails will be sent on May 30th.
