WHAT HAPPENS NEXT?

​

If we feel that you may be suitable for our Mentorship Programme this year we will invite you to attend an online meeting for an informal chat about yourself and the programme. These meetings will take place throughout December 2023 and January 2024.

 

In some circumstances, we may ask you to perform a short extract of a scene via a self tape but in this scenario, all details, instructions and materials would be provided in due course and time commitments carefully respected.

​

We are fully committed to replying to all submissions we receive.

​

​

​

A NOTE FROM US.

​

We are so excited to be here doing this all over again and we are thrilled to start this process of recruitment onto the programme.

​

The Ten would not exist if we ourselves didn't acknowledge the potential feeling of pressure behind any application or submission.

​

We want to say this...We hugely appreciate your submission. Due to the high level of interest in this scheme, we understand the possibility that if you are not successful this time around, it may feel like (yet another) missed opportunity. As with most auditions, this submission is not viewed by us as a reflection on you or your talents. There are many reasons why we may or may not choose to move forwards with a submission and we are looking to simply find the group of people for this particular cohort in line with our work plans for the years programme ahead and also with the ways we wish to promote equal opportunities. Please be encouraged by the fact that you are here reading this, meaning you are here trying...making the effort...being proactive in chasing your goals in this incredibly difficult industry.

 

We at The Ten believe wholeheartedly in this level of perseverance. We wish you all the very best and hopefully one day we can open this up to more people! If there are any of our wider opportunities at The Ten from which you could benefit - you are always most welcome to get in touch!

 

Thank you,

 

The Ten.
