Over the course of 2011, The Stage will be offering a grand total of 20 scholarships, awarding nearly £300,000 worth of training in disciplines across the performing arts. Full details and application forms will be announced throughout the year, but in this week’s issue you can see a summary of all the scholarships on offer. Plus, application forms for the Sylvia Young Theatre School and Greasepaint scholarships are included in this week’s paper.
And we complement the announcement of the Greasepaint scholarship with a special section dedicated to costume and make-up. Wig and make-up expert Sandra O’Brien and stylist Jackie Crier give their tips on getting on in the industry, and we also look ahead to the International Make-Up Artist Trade Show which takes place later this month.
