Ensemble Access Course

“Work on your craft, learn from people who have something to teach…”

– James Lafferty

Ensemble Access Course (EAC) is a 8-session preparatory course for diverse young people who want to audition successfully for WAYTCo Ensembles the following year and/or who wish to work toward some other creative goal, such as an opportunity to be a part of a WAYTCo production. The course differs from the ensemble program in that:

• No need to audition;
• Rolls out fortnightly in the second half of the year;
• Delivered by WAYTCo in-house creatives with engagement of a focal guest artist;
• It’s designed to enable rather than extend.

About the Course

‘EAC’ channels curiosity and enthusiasm about the performing arts and up-skills participants in the process.

Over the course of 8 fortnights, participants develop skills to work with traditional scripted and devised pieces. Ensemble bonding and learning culminates in a light showing or Open Session for a small invited audience. By program conclusion, participants will develop both confidence and skill, which will serve them in their efforts to audition successfully for our premier ensemble program, or for other opportunities either within or beyond WAYTCo.
