Second-year industry panel auditions at ICTheatre Brighton
To see this term out with a bang, we’re hosting some incredible industry panel auditions for our ICTheatre Brighton second-year BA (hons) Training Professionals.
At the end of the second-year of training and coming into the final and third year of our BA (hons) degree course, professional development ramps up and industry facing auditions will start to feel like a part of normal working life.
Our Brighton BA2’s have already auditioned for their third-year musicals, next week they will be auditioning in front of three panels of leading industry professionals to get the experience they need to find employment and agent representation.
Through these panel days, many of our current graduates have gone straight in to work or secured representation by leading agents in our field not commonly known for taking graduates, such as Felix De Wolfe.
A Manchester panel line up will soon follow and our Brighton third-year’s final panel day will be announced soon following curtain down on their musicals.
There is a lot to be excited about at ICTheatre as we round-up for the summer!
