What is this things called Acting?

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

In Government Eyes
Wed, 20 Sept 2006, 01:24 pmYes, I am quite familiar with the Govt's distinction of Hobby and Professional having tried to work as a contract trainer for a number of years. In non-government terms, a hobbyist is someone who has an interest, which could range into earnest passion. The government sees them in terms of potential tax revenue. ;-)
CT is a hobby, no-one can disagree with that. We are not paid. There is little profit in CT if any, at least in a monetary sense. It's a good thing the Governments of the world haven't yet figured out how to tax Enthusiasm!
Yet I think there would be a few CT Thespians would be offended to be labled a "hobbyist" with the belief that their hearts are more into it than that ;-)
