Casting Director Emily Jones casts TV and Theatre and has cast both in her own right and also alongside established names. This workshop is a great opportunity to learn how Emily casts and also meet and get feedback from a casting director you may not have met before.
The workshop will start with a short introduction following which Emily will answer any questions you have on the industry and her casting process - please have these questions ready at the start!
Emily will be sent your Spotlight CV before the workshop so that she can cast participants appropriately - stage sides will be provided on the day. You will be given time to prepare, during which you can ask Emily any questions you may have about character and plot.
