Open Auditions for Project Perfomer 2019, Durban

Men and women 5 - 100 Years old, All regions

A platform in Durban, South Africa, is created with opportunities and education by local and international heavy weights by bringing them together locally, where the artist can learn, network, grow, get direction, perform to and audition for a panel made up of artists, scouts, producers and directors, under one roof, locally, AND at a fraction of the cost.

Unlike other platforms offered to the South African market, Project Performer gives actors, singers and dancers a platform in Durban without having to travel overseas for the same thing, but also a chance for those who want and/or need to cultivate and make connections nationally and internationally. Other platforms take you to America, whereas Project Performer brings them to YOU, with the idea of Artist Development at the root, coupled with South African heavy weights, all under ONE roof in DURBAN, saving you an additional R50 000 or more PLUS visas, exchange rates, flights, spending money and hidden costs.
