From a low socio-economic background
*This includes people of Black Caribbean, Black African, South Asian, East Asian, South East Asian, Middle Eastern, Arab, Latinx, Jewish, Romany and Irish Traveller heritage

Alongside a fee of £2,500, those selected will receive one week of free rehearsal space at The Courthouse, support and mentorship, and will share 20-30 minutes of their creation to date at The Courthouse in Thirsk on Saturday 22nd January 2022.
