Audition Opportunity for Aspiring Dancers

Cygnet School, run by New Adventures and resident at the Marlowe Theatre, is a groundbreaking full-subsidised talent development programme for young dancers, giving them the opportunity to gain access to more opportunities in the arts. From October to July, they meet once a month at the Marlowe Theatre to explore New Adventures work and gain insight into the dance industry, which culminates in a performed sharing at the end.

This summer, we are looking for young people with energy, passion, and a strong interest in dance to come and join us for our Cygnet School Audition Day on Sunday 14 September, 11am – 1pm or 2.30pm – 4.30pm at the Marlowe Theatre, Canterbury.

This fun audition is an opportunity to come and find out more about what Cygnet School is all about. You will take part in a workshop that explores contemporary technique, learn some movement from one of our famous productions and get creative yourself. A number of participants will be asked to join the Cygnet School programme following the audition.

Cygnet school is looking for dancers:

  • Aged 12-18 or up to the age of 24 if d/Deaf or disabled.
  • Have some dance experience (all styles welcome).
  • Passionate about movement and acting.

We are particularly interested in welcoming dancers from a global majority background, as well as young people who have experienced less opportunities in dance and those that have barriers to access due to cost.
