AUDITION

The Corn Exchange, Brighton
Brighton & Hove Music & Arts are delighted to be working once again with the UK’s premier centre for contemporary dance, The Place, in hosting a unique intensive training programme in partnership with their CAT scheme. The scheme provides young people aged 11 – 14 the opportunity to develop their potential in dance.
Over the spring and summer terms successful candidates will take part in:
-
Weekly contemporary dance training
-
Taster day to The Place, London
-
Performances in Eastleigh & London
-
Collaboration with the Hampshire CAT satellite centre
-
Trips to the theatre
The course will culminate in a fantastic opportunity to create a new dance piece with a professional choreographer which will be performed at The Place in London in their annual summer show.
Previous formal training isn’t a necessity but enthusiasm, commitment and a passion for dance is essential!
Audition is by application only.
