Join the Inclusive Young Company (IYC) – 2025 Semester 2 Auditions Now Open  

Are you passionate about theatre? Your chance to step into the spotlight is here. 

A partnership with Access Path Productions, SRT’s Inclusive Young Company (IYC) is a holistic theatre-making programme for young persons and adults between the ages of 16 – 35, who identify as d/Deaf, disabled, or neurodivergent. Both SRT and Access Path Productions as organisations believe in addressing the imbalance of accessibility to the arts.   

We believe in working with you, your experiences, and your stories, to support disabled-led and -focused work. We are passionate about guiding and honing your artistry and capabilities as individuals, with high-quality processes and execution.   

IYC features professional masterclasses and mentorship led by international artist Grace Lee-Khoo and various guest facilitators, which will provide a platform for the development of your creative potential as an independent performer and theatre-maker.   
 
Our key outcomes for this exciting programme include offering equality of learning and personal as well as professional development for young persons, engaging the general public with performances that reflect the experiences of marginalised communities in Singapore, and deepening the wider conversation around access in the arts, and beyond.

How to prepare for your audition

Following your submission of the application form, SRT will reach out to discuss your audition. Audition content and format can be tailored according to your access requirements. Here are some examples of audition formats: 

  • Auditions can be conducted in-person, over Zoom, or via a video submission. 

  • Some auditionees may be asked to prepare two memorised speeches where you act as a different character in each speech (each a maximum of 1-2 minutes). 

  • For those for whom memorisation is difficult, you may be asked to prepare 2 speeches that you may read. 

  • If speech poses a challenge, we may recommend an in-person audition where the Lead Artist will chat and work with you to determine if the programme is suitable for you. One Contemporary monologue  

Should you encounter any difficulties in submitting the form, or have any other queries, please get in contact with SRT at learning@srt.com.sg
