Show a short improvised piece (e.g. a make-believe piece they have made up themselves – up to 1 minute long) or
Recite a poem (or a nursery rhyme for pre-primary children) or
Sing a verse and chorus of any song of their choice or
Show a short dance that they may have learned at dance classes
They can choose to do one or more of the above, and they can show all of the above if they wish – whichever they feel most comfortable performing.
In a Private Audition, 10-13-year-old applicants are required to:
Show a short improvised/devised piece (up to 1 minute long) or
Perform a monologue or drama speech or
