Expressions of Interest | The Rehearsal Room – Space to Rehearse. Time to Prepare
Intro
The National Talent Academy for Film & TV Drama (NTA) is currently seeking expressions of interest from cultural venues, rehearsal studios, arts centres, theatres and creative spaces across Ireland for a new pilot initiative: The Rehearsal Room – Space to Rehearse. Time to Prepare.
This programme aims to strengthen connections between venues and filmmakers by supporting independent short and feature film productions with access to affordable rehearsal facilities during pre-production, particularly productions/filmmakers scaling up, regional projects, and those working with limited budgets or access requirements.
The programme is designed not only to support filmmakers but also to create meaningful opportunities nationally for venues interested in engaging with the screen sector.
Venues include:
- * Arts centres
- * Theatres
- * Rehearsal studios
- * Community arts spaces
- * Cultural hubs
- * Multi-disciplinary creative venues
- * And all creative spaces suitable for rehearsal activity
Participating venues will:
- * Support emerging screen talent
- * Champion inclusive and accessible filmmaking practices
- * Connect with filmmakers and producers
- * Gain visibility as a partner in a national screen initiative
Selected venues will host approximately three days of rehearsal activity during the pilot period, with scheduling agreed in partnership with NTA.
NTA Film & TV will manage the production selection, scheduling, insurance and marketing, and will cover an agreed percentage (up to 100%) of venue hire costs.
Deadline for Expressions of Interest
At 12 noon, March 30th 2026.
