Interested parties are invited to take part in and experience free practical and information dance workshops delivered live online on Friday evenings in June, July and August 2020 and then to take part in one of two Digital Experience Day Workshops offering more in depth training and insight in to the course. A panel consisting of the CAT Management and artist team will informally observe all weekly classes and the Experience Days to ensure those wanting to be considered are seen. They will be observing how students engage and respond to tasks set in these online sessions and encourage those wanting to be considered to engage with as many of the sessions as possible to ensure they have opportunity to be seen.
All interested candidates can apply for the Weekly Workshops and Digital Experience Days via Google Forms.
