Aspiring stars invited to audition and compete on the Costa Blanca

Aspiring performers and musicians have two exciting opportunities to showcase their talents on the Costa Blanca this year. From a film casting in Alicante to a prestigious young musicians’ competition in Torrevieja, both initiatives are designed to discover emerging talent and provide valuable experience for the next generation of artists.

The spotlight awaits in Alicante

Do you have what it takes to be Alicante’s next star? A new casting call has been launched in Alicante for a feature film set to be filmed in the province this August, with organisers looking for performers with a background in dance.

Human Art Casting will hold an in-person casting session on Sunday, 28 June at 10:00 AM, seeking a flamenco dancer aged between 20 and 25 and a tango couple, with no specific age requirement.

Successful applicants will appear in small scenes within the film, which will feature well-known Argentine actors and be shot in Alicante during August.

Organisers say the roles require performers who are comfortable in front of the camera and have genuine experience in their chosen dance style. The production is looking for the emotion, expression and stage presence associated with both flamenco and tango.

The casting will take place at Calle Doctor Just, 24, Alicante.

Anyone interested must book an appointment in advance by emailing info@humanartcasting.com.

The latest casting follows several previous recruitment sessions organised by Human Art Casting for the same production, including searches for child actors, character performers and supporting roles.

Rising stars of tomorrow

Young musicians from across Spain and abroad are being invited to enter Torrevieja’s III Francisco Casanovas Young Music Talents Competition, with entries now open until 10 October.

The competition aims to support and promote the next generation of performers while honouring one of Torrevieja’s most respected musical figures.

The contest is open to musicians aged between 10 and 20 who are studying at conservatories, music schools or learning independently, provided they have not yet entered higher music education.

Participants can compete in piano, woodwind, brass, percussion, strings, chamber music and singing across three age categories.

Cash prizes will be awarded in each category, ranging from €100 to €250, alongside a series of special awards named after prominent figures from Torrevieja’s musical history. A special Francisco Casanovas Prize, worth €300, will also be presented for the best performance of a work by a Spanish composer.

Celebrating future talent

A panel of professional musicians will assess competitors on technical ability, musicality, expression and interpretation.

The qualifying rounds will take place on 6 and 7 November, with the grand final scheduled for 8 November at the Palacio de la Música in Torrevieja.

Both initiatives highlight the Costa Blanca’s ongoing commitment to supporting creativity and nurturing emerging talent. Whether through film, dance or music, young performers are being given opportunities to gain experience, develop their skills and showcase their abilities in front of professional audiences.

Full competition rules and entry forms are available through the Municipal Institute of Culture’s electronic headquarters.
