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

However...

However, we must consider this. Old dogs learn new tricks when they are willing. Some aren't - quite a number aren't. It's like they reach a point and think they know it all - it's really only when you study the art of acting and drama that you discover that you have to keep learning, and you can never know it all - but you can learn more. I guess what I'm trying to say is that on a community level, sometimes those people say they've reached the limit because they aren't focused on acting to the same degree as those who have studied it or are very very VERY passionate about it - actually, knowing some people in my uni course, I would say only the latter.
