Emerging Artists Showcase
Summer 2026
At Rebound Productions, we champion new writing and emerging talent. Each year, our Emerging Artists Festivals bring these together in a dynamic theatre showcase, featuring performances by actors from our Showcase Course.
This unique programme is designed to help you refine your craft, perform on stage, and attract industry attention in a supportive, professional environment.
Great acting starts with strong foundations, and that’s exactly what we focus on. Across the course, you will:

-
Develop character and motivation
-

-
Strengthen your voice, physicality, and emotional connection
-
Build confidence performing challenging material
You’ll train in a collaborative space where imagination, authenticity, and vulnerability become powerful tools.

At the end of the course, you’ll perform in our end-of-term theatre showcase, presenting your work to a live audience, an exciting opportunity to be seen and celebrated on stage.

“I had a really fun time on this course. It was great to meet people with similar goals and share different techniques for getting into character and learning lines. The team was incredibly supportive, giving everyone plenty of time, attention, and encouragement throughout the process. It was nice having some input over the characters we wanted to play, and in the end we were given roles that really challenged and pushed us to grow. I joined the course to improve my line-learning and stage skills in a supportive environment, while working towards a final performance, and it delivered exactly that. I’d definitely recommend it to anyone looking to build confidence, develop their acting skills, and perform as part of a supportive team.”
