Audition for Theatrino 2016
We are selecting 30 young, energetic performers with Theatre in Education experience and who love working with children to form 8 groups to tour across Italy.
THEATRINO is EDUCO'S Theatre In Education drama programme, in collaboration with ACLE, which is a non-profit organisation endorsed by the Italian Ministry of Education, operating successfully for over 30 years. The company promotes a student based teaching method and was the first in Italy to use drama to teach English to children through Theatre In Education (T.I.E.) with our touring programme, THEATRINO. We are looking for young, enthusiastic actors with T.I.E. experience to tour Italian schools presenting interactive English language shows supported by workshops. Touring in groups of four, actors will perform English shows and co-ordinate class workshops for particular age groups. THEATRINO is now in its 23rd year presenting interactive English Language shows supported by workshops.
The entire THEATRINO repertoire (performed across the four tours) consists of 10 fairytales, 10 sketches, a musical workshop, graded drama-based language workshops and 3 ‘Pop Music and Culture’ workshops for various age groups. There are four different tours that cover this repertoire:
• the Standard Tour
• the Storytelling Workshop Tour
• the Sketch and Workshop Tour
• the Pop Music and Culture Tour
This is an exciting opportunity for performers with a love for T.I.E. and have a passion for working with children. Knowledge of the Italian language is not necessary.
Auditions are by invitation and will be held in London, UK on Friday 9th October.
All actors must be available from Friday 8th January- Saturday 4th June 2016 (minimum). Whilst on tour we provide a salary of €250 per week for new actors and €280 for returning actors (paid monthly), accommodation, car and petrol, and work insurance. A return flight from London to Nice (our closest airport) and consequent transfers to and from Sanremo will also be provided. If unable to take this flight, a €50 contribution will be made towards arrival costs, and €50 towards leaving costs at the end of tour.
Rehearsals will begin on Friday 8th January 2016 until Saturday 30th January 2016. You will receive a total wage of €450 plus shared room accommodation, breakfast and lunch. Tour will begin on Monday 1st February 2016.
For Storytelling and Pop Music and Culture artistes, rehearsals will begin on 8th January 2016 until Saturday 23rd January 2016.

Please note, the exact length of the rehearsal period is subject to change. This may be extended to Saturday 30th January, meaning that tour would start on Monday 1st February. In this case you would receive €450 for the rehearsal period.
This unique experience provides the opportunity to act, teach and travel Italy taking in the Italian culture. It is an invaluable opportunity for future careers and an experience never to be forgotten!
