We are delighted to be the venue for the next Scottish Casting Network workshop on Wednesday 1 October 2025.
Applications are open for all actors with a base in Scotland, and attending legacy Scottish Casting Workshops does not preclude you from applying to the Scottish Casting Network workshops.
How will each session run?
The first thing to say is that a SCN workshop is not an audition, it is a workshop. It is a chance for actors to play together and those in casting to see how they play. Directors and casting directors will be invited to the workshops as casting participants. There will be three, two-hour workshops on the day each comprising 20 actors.
- Introductions (10 mins)
Facilitator, Casting Participants and Actor Participants - Group warm up and movement exercise (20 mins)
Physical and vocal warm up. Visualisation exercise. - 8 x 3-4 min Duologues with self-reflexive redirection (90 mins)
Actor participants will receive the duologue in advance allowing them to prepare their text.
Each duologue will then be reworked - Goodbyes
The workshop ends and actors have the opportunity is to network together in the bar
Who is eligible to apply?
SCN’s priority is professional actors living in Scotland. Applicants must meet the following criteria:
- Have a base in Scotland
- Have a Spotlight profile.
- Have professional acting training or demonstrate sufficient professional credits.
- Have not attended a Scottish Casting Network workshop in the past two years
How will actors be chosen?
We aim to choose workshop participants with a focus on equity and diversity. As such, the 16 spaces per session will be split as follows: 8 spaces for all applicants
- 2 spaces for participants who identify as Global Majority
- 2 spaces for participants who identify as living with a disability
- 2 spaces for participants who identity as working class
- 2 spaces for participants who identify as LGBTQIA+
How participants identify will have no bearing on the day and will be in no way identified. It is simply an attempt to ensure equity and diversity.
How do I apply?
Applications are open and will remain open until Wednesday 10 September 2025 .
All applicants will receive a response by Wednesday 17 September 2025. We expect a high demand for these workshops but if you are not selected this time, please apply for future workshops.
