Spotlight and NYT Edinburgh Workshop: Audition Techniques
Join us on 14th August to flex those auditioning muscles and play at Edinburgh Fringe Festival! We’re joining together with the National Youth Theatre to host a workshop, ideal for all 16-25 year old performers looking to improve their audition technique. It will give you the chance to hone your audition skills, offer guidance on choosing the right speech for you, gain confidence and play with a group of different, new and exciting people. The workshop will be followed by a short Q&A with Spotlight and the NYT.

Equity: The Sanctuary
As part of ArtsMinds programme, equity will be creating a 'Sanctuary' which will be an opportunity to get away from the madding crowd to a calm, completely quiet space where you can just be for a while before getting back out there. The Sanctuary provides you with a bit of peace in a comfortable environment. There will also be a neck and shoulder massage therapist. This will be held at the Fringe Central, no need to book, just pop in.
