Students as advocates

Actors required for mock trial assessment

Kent Law School are looking for actors to play the parts of witnesses, defendants and court staff in our upcoming mock trials.

We are looking for actors (both male and female) who have excellent improvisation skills with prior acting expereince.

This is a unique opportunity and one that will look good on CVs when applying for future acting jobs that require role play experience. The trials will be recorded and so could be used for actors’ showreels if so required.

Although unpaid, students will be able to obtain employability points.

Time Commitment: The successful candidates will need to be available on 13, 15 and 22 March, from 17.00-20.00. They will also need to be available for two rehearsal workshops at the start of March (times and dates to be arranged). The trials and rehearsals will take place at the Canterbury campus.

Applications: In the first instance please send your CV (or statement outlining your acting experience) and a head and shoulder photograph to Darren Weir, by email: d.weir@kent.ac.uk. Auditions will be held in January at the start of the Spring Term.

Deadline for applications: Tuesday 15 January at 17.00
