What to Expect at Our Open Evening
Each Open Evening lasts around one hour and includes:

• A 30-minute guided tour of our state-of-the-art studios and performance spaces
• A 30-minute presentation from Artistic Director George Hill, covering the course, curriculum, funding, and audition process
• A live Q&A with staff and current students, so you can ask honest questions about life and training at BDC

There’s no practical class on the night, so you can focus entirely on getting to know the college and your questions answered.
