Do you want to be a performance maker? Passionate about making your own work or being a performance artist, but not sure where to begin?

Our Transitions Contemporary Performance Practice programme might be just what you are looking for.

Aimed at those who are aged 16+  – we are looking for people who want to experiment with performance making. Our programme is exciting. You will experiment with:

  • Performance writing
  • Outdoor Arts
  • Devising performance and making new work
  • Movement practice
  • Experimental performance
  • Making performance for/with communities
  • Experimenting with design
  • And much more….

We’ll take you on performance trips, offer you masterclasses, creative conversations and short courses. We’ll also help you to prepare your application for our RCS undergraduate programmes and give you access to a personal life coach.

If you want to collaborate with like-minded people, people who want to make a difference to the world through performance making, then why not apply? You might want to be a writer, a dancer, a performer, a community practitioner, a teaching artist, a director, an outdoor arts expert…

We are looking for an exciting group of people who are open and want to experiment with new forms of performance. 

You don’t need to be an expert – you just need to have some performance making experience to apply. 

Head over to our ‘Apply’ page now!

Deadline: 20 August.
