AUDITIONS
Initial auditions will take place at the University of Queensland (St Lucia) and will consist of 15-minute slots in the following sessions, by appointment only: 2-6pm Saturday December 2nd and 2-6pm Sunday December 3rd.
Prepare two pieces from any of Shakespeare’s plays, one comic piece and one dramatic piece (not necessarily from a comedy and a tragedy/history, just one piece with a comic tone and one with a darker/heavier tone). Each piece should be between one and two minutes long, and speeches do not need to be age/gender appropriate. Choose something with which you feel a personal connection.
Call-backs will take place at the University of Queensland (St Lucia) and will consist of a group session 6-11pm on Monday December 4th that will include voice, Shakespeare, group work and improvisation. You MUST be available for the entirety of this call-back to be considered for the Core Ensemble or Apprentice program.
Please contact info@qldshakespeare.org with any questions.
We believe theatre and actor training are most exciting and powerful when our community’s diverse nature is reflected. We encourage applications from indigenous artists, artists of colour, artists from CALD backgrounds, LGBTQi artists, neurodiverse artists, artists with disabilities, and artists of all ages and creeds.
Everyone who comes to work and play with QSE, regardless of their rank, experience, or profile, can expect to work in an atmosphere of collaboration and openness.
