Opportunities
We support artists and young people across the region at different stages throughout their career.
Associate Schools Programme
The Associate Schools Programme is the Royal Shakespeare Company’s national partnership project run by schools and regional theatres. The fundamental ambition of the Associate Schools Programme is to transform experiences of Shakespeare and live theatre for young people.
Alongside transformational continuing professional development for teachers, the programme includes unique opportunities for students in performance, leadership and career development.
The programme includes schools from all across Kent, arranged into two cluster groups. Each cluster will include experienced schools who have been in the programme for several years as well as new schools. Five of these schools will bring a wealth of experience to the programme and will act as mentor schools, offering support in their specialist areas of primary education, secondary education, and special educational needs.
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 20 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.
Please complete this form to sign up to this incredible opportunity.
Contact cygnetschool@new-adventures.net if you have any questions or access requirements.
