Audition advice

In-line with the ICTheatre ethos, our audition process is completely FREE.

ICTheatre Training Professionals have a sense of why they want to be a performer; they have commitment, flexibility, passion, dedication, curiosity, discipline, courage, and imagination.

Our audition days are rigorous but also lots of fun. You will take part in workshops specific to your chosen course. For degree students, you will need to prepare some pieces in advance.
