Young people aged 6 to 10 are invited to make a splash this summer and dive into an unforgettable underwater theatre adventure in Haddington with Disney’s Finding Nemo at The Brunton Summer School in association with David Ross.
Free auditions take place on Sunday 7 June 10am – 1pm, at Corn Exchange, Haddington, to be part of The Brunton’s Summer School this July.
Auditions are relaxed and informal, running in a workshop style format. There’s nothing to prepare in advance, all material will be taught on the day. Participants will: • Take part in short acting exercises • Join a vocal warm up and sing music from the production • Learn and perform a short section of choreography
The week-long Summer School takes place Monday 20 – Friday 24 July and culminates in a performance of a 30 minute musical adaptation of Disney’s Finding Nemo. Throughout the week, participants will work with professional artists from The Brunton Performing Arts Network, developing skills in acting, singing and movement in a fun, supportive environment. Taking part in creative activities helps build confidence, fuels the imagination and develops skills that are useful in all areas of life. As well as developing a range of acting and performance skills, the young participants will meet new people, build confidence, and above all, have fun.
Filled with catchy songs like Just Keep Swimming, Fish Are Friends Not Food, and Go with the Flow, this vibrant show brings an underwater world to life on stage in a heartwarming tale for all ages. Marlin, an anxious and over protective clownfish, lives in the Great Barrier Reef with his adventurous child Nemo, who dreams of exploring beyond their anemone home. But when Nemo is captured and taken to Sydney, Marlin must face his fears and set off on an epic ocean journey. Along the way, he meets a host of unforgettable characters, including the ever optimistic Dory, the laid back surfer turtle Crush, and the lively Tank Gang, all helping him discover courage, friendship and trust.
