What you need to know: Audition Process We are looking for young actors and musicians, aged 11-21, who have a flair for performing and theatre-making. Regardless of experience, we want to meet you! Your audition is a half-day group workshop led by professional theatre practitioners. They will be looking to gauge how well you dance, sing, act and work as a team. When you arrive you will meet the team, and they will talk you through what to expect. Your group will learn a song together, and you will then be asked to sing either the song you have just learned or a song you have prepared. You will also take part in a group dance and have the chance to show the team some improvised movement. We will look at your acting skills through short improvised scenes in groups as well as listening to your own monologue if you have one - if you don't we will have some monologue sheets in the rehearsal room.
