Performers, directors and anyone interested in working in theatre are being urged to audition for Derby Theatre’s new ensemble company.
The company will “provide an exciting opportunity to work with professional directors to explore the ingredients that create exceptional theatre”.
Sessions will “provide theatre-makers and those interested in performance with the opportunity to receive an insight into the vocational training undergone by actors at drama schools”.
Caroline Barth, head of learning at Derby Theatre, said, “you could be a performer, director, deviser or maybe you're not quite sure—but you know you want to work in theatre.
“We're not looking just for ability but for people interested in working as an ensemble to bring ideas to life through play and experimentation. This could be a fantastic stepping stone for those who want to go into the profession.”
Auditions for anyone aged 18 and above will be held on Thursday 15 September between 6 and 8PM. E-mail [email protected] for more information and to book an audition slot. Once the ensemble company has been formed, the group will meet each week on a Wednesday evening. The cost will be £75 per term.
