Experience Opportunity

Edinburgh Fringe Festival Project

This unique and exciting programme offers the opportunity to participate in The Edinburgh Fringe Festival, the world’s largest performing arts platform.

Chichester College Group’s Riverside Theatre Company has established itself at the Fringe Festival since 2017 and we are ready to take this to the next level by forming a dedicated Fringe Company.

Candidates may apply for the performance or production strand of the programme.

Entrance for the performance strand is via audition. Successful candidates will be cast in the commissioned repertory company for our Riverside Theatre Company.

The programme’s practice will emulate that of a professional repertory company. Company members will take part in research and development, skills development workshops, weekly rehearsals with the company directors and performances throughout the year culminating in a 7-day performance run at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival.

Start date: 08/09/2025

Requirements

This course is open to anyone with some experience and a real passion for the performing arts. This includes current students. You can be at the start of your training or looking for a way to expand your professional practice since leaving training. You do not have to be a current student or have trained with us before this date.

The only exclusion is you will have to be 18 years or older on 9 August 2025.

We are very interested to see people from all performance disciplines from acting, to dance or music and musical theatre.

Production pathway entries – we would love to hear from people interested in technical, costume, design, media, stage-management, prop making (or transferrable skills in those areas)
