The Application Process

Step 1  Before applying to audition for the Academy you will wish to find out more about us and the courses.  Please read this prospectus, visit our website and you are welcome to visit the Academy on one of our Open Days. Open days for this year have ended and dates for October 2010 onwards will be posted here during the summer break.

Step 2  Applying. If you decide that you wish to audition then you need to send in the completed application forms (with this prospectus or downloaded from our website) and return them by post to the Urdang Academy.

The forms you need to complete are:

1. Application Form

2. Equal Opportunities Monitoring Form

3. Medical Form (returnable on enrolment)

Step 3  Audition. For all courses the Academy looks for candidates with talent, ambition and individuality who are committed and hardworking. Urdang has a long and valued tradition of encouraging widening participation and actively welcomes applications from sections of society who may be under-represented in the performing arts industry.  Entry is not dependent merely on whether a candidate has achieved a particular standard in training or qualification. Fresh talent and potential are equally as important and valued.

The audition is in two stages.

1.  Participate in a Jazz class and perform a solo song.

2.  Successful candidates participate in a Ballet class and Musical Theatre workshop that is designed to test ability to perform with individuality and personality.

A physical assessment is taken to ensure the candidate is able to undertake the course of training.
