Calling all actors, singers, dancers and models to audition for The International ARTS Talent Showcase
'Those who receive a callback at the audition will have the opportunity to be part of the IATS 2022, now in its 12th year, where they will showcase their talent in front of top international talent scouts.'
Producers of The International ARTS Talent Showcase (IATS) are calling all actors, singers, dancers and models to audition (by registration only) for local talent scouts at The Venue, Melrose Arch on Sunday November 7.
Every year, Elsubie Verlinden, the Director of 33 & Me Talent Agency and producer of the IATS, travels the country to scout local talent.
She not only provides artists the opportunity to showcase their talent, but also to study abroad so that the youth of our nation can grow and nurture their skills in their various faculties.
Those who receive a callback at the audition will have the opportunity to be part of the IATS 2022, now in its 12th year, where they will showcase their talent in front of top international talent scouts.
Elsubie said, “We are looking forward to hosting multi-talented aspiring artists in search of career and casting opportunities in the film and fashion industry. As we are navigating our way through the midst of a global pandemic and towards voting polls, it’s time for the youth in our nation to ensure their voices are heard. After much struggle, the industry is catching momentum and slowly returning to normal standards.”
The IATS 2021, which was held at Silverstar on the weekend of September 23 to 25, awarded youngsters over a $1m worth in scholarships for local talent to study at AMDA in Los Angeles or New York City, which is the number-one performing arts college in the United States.
The highly celebrated event, IATS 2021, welcomed six American Agents, including the Head of Global Brand Design Programs for Netflix, Kamey Butler. Tyler Perry Studios Senior Casting Executive, Rhavynn Drummer, also joined the panel that was scouting talent for the popular Tyler Perry Studios feature titled ‘Sistas’.
“It is important to note that this is not a competition. It is a platform to nurture local talent, provide artists with business opportunities and create longevity in the workplace.”
Those who would like to audition on November 7 can email Elouise Janse van Rensburg at info@itsartsafrica.co.za.
