This autumn, we’re offering you the chance to create and produce your own tracks, join our live broadcast team to film, edit and broadcast events live from the Roundhouse, and create a brand new piece of professional theatre for LIFT 2012 and the World Shakespeare Festival. And that’s just for starters.

As with every Roundhouse project, you’ll work with professionals, use industry-standard kit, and meet like-minded people in a laid-back, creative environment. Sound good?

Take a look at specific project information for details of audition and start dates, and how to sign up. You’ll need to fill out the enrolment form at the back of this brochure for most projects, but for some you’ll need to email us to apply directly or submit work online. Projects start from 14 Sep – please note that weekly projects will have no sessions during half term holidays.
