Due to the Coronavirus, the upcoming auditions have been cancelled and moved online for Developing Artistic Practice Pathway. We are inviting candidates to submit a video-based audition instead, by the now extended application date of Tuesday 21 April 2020. We will then be inviting applicants to take part in a video-based interview on Tuesday 28, Wednesday 29 or Thursday 30 April 2020. Candidates are advised to keep some free time during these dates.
How to apply
All applicants are required to submit a completed online application form along with the £50.00 application fee before they are invited to an audition/interview. Full audition/interview details will be sent to applicants once a completed form has been received.
