Fairs and Audition Dates
Each year, LIPA holds overseas auditions and recruitment events in Jersey and Guernsey, Iceland, Israel, Norway, South Korea and the United States.
International Students may choose to attend an audition/interview in Liverpool. These are held regularly between January and May. If you are unable to attend an audition or interview either in Liverpool or in your own country you will be given detailed instructions on how to present a "postal audition" in the form of a video audition or a portfolio submission.
Please note that for the majority of auditions and interviews, we expect candidates to have prepared for auditions and interviews in advance using guidelines sent out by ourselves.
All LIPA interviews and auditions start and end on the same day.
