British ITV hit-show Coronation Street has announced that it is organizing an acting workshop designed for talented actors with disabilities.
The initiative, in partnership with Creative Skillset, is designed to encourage greater diversity in the television industry and follows on from the hugely successful workshop organised last month for aspiring black, Asian and ethnic minority (BAME) actors.
Targeting both male and female actors with disabilities, the organisers only ask that applicants have an active interest in and passion for acting and are over the age of 18.
The workshop will take place on 19 November at Media City, Salford in the United Kingdom and will include acting classes from current Coronation Street star Cherylee Houston as well as advice from casting directors from the show. Participants will also get the opportunity to receive feedback following live auditions.
If this sounds like the perfect opportunity for you, the deadline for all submissions is 20 October. You can find out more information about this exciting opportunity here.
