Suitable candidates will be invited to audition following the Open Days. Auditions usually take place in June at The Lowry ahead of the new academic year starting in September.
Auditions can be a very tense and nerve wracking experience even for the most seasoned of professional dancers. It is therefore important to recognise that your decision to attend has already demonstrated a strong sense of self motivation and commitment.
Please be advised that the audition process is devised in order to assess true potential and ability rather than technical excellence. The creative and choreographic elements of the audition will give you an opportunity to demonstrate this potential and it is important to note that every effort will be made to create a safe and relaxed environment in order that you can work to your maximum potential.
Even attending an audition is a valuable learning experience and in many ways will benefit future applications that you make. We would ask therefore that you try, even though it is sometimes difficult to do so; to approach the audition as though you would any other workshop and enjoy the process of the day.
This years audition for the CAT will take place on Sunday 17th June at The Lowry. Anyone interested in auditioning for the scheme MUST attend an Open Day in advance of applying to audition. Audition application forms will be available at the Open Days.
If you have any concerns or questions please contact the CAT team.
