volunteer film making project

Derby Academy for Performing Arts (DAPA) is a not for profit organisation which is a Performing Arts School based in Derby. It offers a wide range of activities and classes to children in the area. DAPA is currently looking for a volunteer to make a five minutes film featuring its children at the west end community centre using a green screen that they can provide to promote health and wellbeing. This would be a great opportunity for a film/ video student to gain experience in filming and editing a short film and at the same time supporting and helping a great cause.

Audition for a world premiere - Theatre - Belper News

Audition for a world premiere - Theatre - Belper News

AUDITIONS are being held later this month in Derby for a world premiére production.

Uncontained Arts (a professional theatre company established in 2008 by former graduates of the University of Derby Theatre Arts course, based at Derby Theatre) and Theatre Works (also based at the theatre) are giving budding actors and artistes the opportunity to be part of a company who will produce and present a brand new musical adaptation of Frank McCourt’s Angela’s Ashes at Derby Theatre in November.

Auditions are being held on July 21-22 , 10am – 5pm in the Kirtley Building, at the University of Derby’s Kedleston site and are open to anyone aged 18-plus from Derbyshire and surrounding counties.

The audition panel is looking for enthusiastic, passionate and committed performers who can sing and act and who are interested in being part of a world premiére of a brand new musical adaptation of a world famous book, and who must be available for rehearsals during August, September and October.

As this is a community project; it is realised that individuals may have other commitments (especially at this time of year) so rehearsals may, to an extent, be scheduled around the company’s availability as a whole.

Previous performance experience is not essential, although it would be an advantage).

Auditionees will be asked to prepare and present a one-minute musical piece during the audition e.g. sing a verse and two choruses of a personally chosen song.
