IdeasTap competitions coming over the next year
IdeasTap Presents… The Old Vic 12 – starting August 2015
This is an unprecedented opportunity from The Old Vic for theatre directors, playwrights, producers, designers, composers and choreographers. It’s a yearlong programme that will see the 12 winners work on Matthew Warchus’ dynamic first season as Artistic Director of The Old Vic, collaborating with each other and a host of stellar associate artists through a series of masterclasses. The year will culminate in a showcase of their output on The Old Vic stage in front of an audience of industry professionals and the public.
IdeasTap Presents… National Student Drama Festival Workshops on Tour – starting August 2015
NSDF will run a series of five one day acting workshops at hubs around the UK using industry experts covering areas including physical theatre, audition technique, devising and Shakespeare. These sessions will be open to actors aged 18 and over who are resident in the UK, but will be specifically aimed at those who haven’t gone through formal training.

This prestigious new competition will see four photographers winning £2,500 each to complete an existing project, with applications judged by a panel of Magnum photographers and other leading industry professionals.
