AUDITION FOR ACT MC

The Arts & Culture Trust (ACT) invites aspiring young presenters to audition for the role of MC at this year’s prestigious ACT | DALRO | Nedbank Performing Arts Scholarships 2011 Final.

Young presenters, performers and entertainers who are interested in presenting the Scholarships Final will have an opportunity to audition on July 3 at the space.com venue at the Joburg Theatre Complex. Six finalists will have the opportunity to showcase their acting, dancing and singing abilities to a live audience and an independent panel of judges as they compete for the Scholarships, and their performances will appear within the format of a variety performance, seamlessly knitted together by a dynamic presenter.

“What makes the Scholarship Programme so special is that it has numerous development qualities, and this year we are incredibly excited that we can nurture a future presenter through our Scholarship Presenter Search.” says Nomalanga Nkosi, Programmes Manager of ACT. “In keeping with the spirit of the programme, young individuals under the age of 23 are encouraged to audition.”

At the Final, the Arts & Culture Trust (ACT) in partnership with the Dramatic, Artistic and Literary Rights Organisation (DALRO) and Nedbank Arts Affinity awards two performing arts scholarships to the value of R105,000 each.

The ACT Scholarships Programme is funded by DALRO and Nedbank Arts Affinity. The Final, generously hosted by Gold Reef City, will take place at the Globe Theatre on October 4. The programme is supported by Sleepy Gecko Guesthouse, Talent Etc. and Classicfeel Magazine.

Schedule an audition by sending an e-mail to Deidre Schoeman at deidre@act.org.za or contact 011 712 8403. Then simply turn up on July 3, with the sole aim of being impressive!
