What is the Emerging Talent Programme?

From September 2025, we will host monthly Sunday workshops at Italia Conti, delivering world-class training to outstanding young performers aged 12-1

The programme’s key goals include:

  • Engaging with young talent who show exceptional ability, dedication, and potential.
  • Building strong relationships with prospective students ahead of full-time study.
  • Championing diversity and inclusion by identifying underrepresented talent, and providing bursaries to help them access high level training to be better prepared for 3 year training and the requirements of auditions.

How Are Students Selected?

Entry to the programme is by invitation and audition only, with three distinct pathways:

  1. Open Audition – Candidates can submit a virtual audition, assessed by our senior faculty.
  2. Invitation – Italia Conti staff can nominate promising students from both internal and external events, who will be invited to audition.
  3. Scout – Talent may be identified through performances, competitions, Summer School, social media, and external industry networks. Scouted candidates may receive a full scholarship to the programme.
