Following a long search, open auditions and rigorous training, 30 of Berkshire's finest talent will head off to Paris to showcase their skills and indulge in days of training with top industry professionals such as children's casting director Pippa Hall!

The contestants for Berkshire are aged 8-50, and all have a strong talent as either a singer, dancer, model or actor (some more than one!)

The dream starts here for the hopeful actors, models, singers and dancers! The convention will introduce new talent to leading agents from all over the world in a safe, educational, family-involved, and uplifting event (they are not an agency - this is a business convention for performing arts, training, educating and showcasing talent).

The convention process focuses on education and self-esteem. We advise parents to accompany their children and teens to their preparation classes, to the convention, and on every out-of-town career-oriented trip after that. The Agents that are invited to see your children (and adults!) are reputable Agents.

Some of our past students who attended the US version of the event are now living their dream in Hollywood! Other successes (for Artemis Students/staff) include scholarships to the New York Film Academy, and offers of agency representation in New York, Canada and L.A.

We hope that for contestants in the UK, they will be discovered by some of the larger London agents, Casting Directors and vocational drama schools (who offer scholarships at the event). Artemis Director Niki will be working hard in the background preparing the team for their official training (contestants will spend an average of 100 hours preparing), then promoting her team to VIP's at the event itself.
