Outreach
FREE OUTREACH ACTING WORKSHOPS AT YOUR SCHOOL OR COLLEGE
Our free Outreach programme sees us attend more and more schools up and down the country every year. Are you a drama or performing arts teacher? Do you have promising, talented drama students that want to have a taste of what really happens at ALRA and what it takes to get through the audition process? Then get in touch and book a two hour workshop, which will consist of vocal warm-ups, movement, games, work with text and a talk from our Co-Director or Student Adviser giving you a first-hand insight into life at ALRA South and ALRA North.
Outreach auditions can also be booked alongside the workshop at your school or college but there must be a minimum of 5 students and there is a price of £45 per student, or the school can pay on behalf of all students.
Students will be told the outcome of their audition, and whether they have been successful no longer than 2 weeks after interview.
Stage Management and Technical Theatre Outreach interviews
It is also possible for any students you may have that are interested in the SMTT course to be interviewed at your school or college. For the interview, you will have an informal chat and you will be asked you about your desire to study Stage Management and Technical Theatre, your relevant skills, any previous experience you may have that is in any way related and, what you would like out of this course. This is also an opportunity for you to ask questions about the course.
They will be told the outcome of the interview, and whether they have been successful no longer than 10 days after interview.

“…The students had a really good day. They found the talk at the beginning really informative… they enjoyed the workshop and considered it to be a good ‘taster’ of a session at drama school. They thought it was ‘fun’, enjoyed the ‘physical activity’…The students had a very positive experience and liked your approach to the day. Many thanks once again. …”
Ms. Hodges, Cardiff and Vale College
“…I think the fact that ALRA came to our college to audition us was brilliant. We all felt so comfortable as we were in an environment that we were used to. Of course, it was still nerve-wracking but I really enjoyed it; it was a fabulous experience and lots of fun. I’m so glad I got a place!”
Hannah Gaskell, Winstanley College
Her talk was excellent and her workshop was enthusiastically received (1st years have e-mailed me already saying how much they enjoyed it.) As usual, “telling it how it is” is so appreciated; especially at this early stage of their Level 3 training (I love the gasp when an actor’s average annual earnings of £10,000 is revealed J.) The video is pitched just right and gives them a real feel of what it’s like to be there.
Thank you once again and I am confident that next year we can provide you with many more auditionees from the current 1st Year crop.
