Nancy has posted a transcript of a casting symposium she lead in Scotland. A group of international casting directors and agents (Maureen Duff, John Hubbard, Maryam Hunwick, Priscilla John, and Derek Power) took part as the panel. They covered topics such as:
- Why are Scotish actors so good and prominent on the international scene,
- the casting director’s relationship with the actor,
- how actors can be more proactive in getting work and getting noticed by an agent,
- what if you have a UK agent and want to work internationally,
- how to get in to see a casting director,
- getting an O1 visa (for actors looking to work in America),
- what to do about travelling for an audition in a different city
- Plus questions from the audience.
There are photos from the symposium on Nancy’s site.

For those of you that weren’t able to come to JJ Murphy’s last night (I know, I sent the invite out late!), here’s a sample of what you missed. The Traditional Session was really amazing and several times listening to the music I got the distinct impression that I had to jump on the next plane to Dublin. Absolutely wonderful! You can still get a taste of this by coming to the Sacred Sow, which is playing as part of the Prague Fringe every day from NOW until June 1 at A Studio Rubin at 19:30. Tickets are available at the door and it only costs 150 Kc!
Listen to one of the tunes played by Mickey Dunne

Writer Ellie Cummins’s play The Sacred Sow plays The Rubin Theatre Malastranka May 25th to June 1st. The play has attracted Eileen Pollack, stage and screen actress, in the lead.

Ellie Cummins has studied theatre, dance, and music and has a BA in English.
How do you access that primal beat? How do you write and get a flow? Where does the spark of inspiration come from? There are very practical ways to get your voice heard.
