Seen any theatre lately? Been in a production?
Did you enjoy it? Was some of it, well... y'know.

UPstageWA is a company that wants to raise the bar on theatre. The aim is to provide opportunities for community theatre practitioners of all levels to learn from industry professionals and respected community theatre practitioners including fantastic networking opportunities for people in community theatre.

There will be a series of Discussion Panels and Master-classesi that "tell it like it is" on various topics. You may be confronted, you may not necessarily like everything you hear, but we assure you of the most interesting theatrical panel discussions you will ever experience.

Panel members will consist of industry professionals, respected community theatre practitioners, and people who have experience, background and credibility to shake us up a little.  One week later, the panel will be followed by a Master-class which will deal with the issues raised at the panel discussion.

When: Our first Discussion Panel will be on Acting, Tuesday, October 17th at 7.30pm.

Cost: Discussion Panel is $10 per person ($5 for students)
Master-class is $15 per person (10$ for students)
Master-class bookings will be opened at the Discussion Panel – Places limited for the Master-class

Thanks for the email Jeff. I agree with most of what yourself, Kirilee (I spelt it right!!) and Alex have said above. Rules are made to be broken. Yes. I break the "rules" of basic acting myself - purposely. But to be able to break them you must first understand there importance and what they do exactly to fulfil maximim benefit from breaking them. Really most of what was mentioned is high school drama! lol. So it's drilled into me 4 days a week! People forget the importance of the basics (and that goes for alot more then acting). In honesty I cannot think of anything much to add to what's been said. My excessively limited experience in community theatre isn't much of a help, I'm afraid. But I shall be keeping track of the thread. ~ Tari The Writer is a child forever listening at the keyhole of the adult world.
