A question...

Great! I agree a reviewing thing is the best way to go, because that's the easiest thing that would potentially involve anyone and everyone (any age, any experience, all you'd need is an internet connection). I know what you mean about the theatre district; I work just up the road from VCA, and I'm always sorely tempted to go see a show on lunchbreak. As for your second suggestion, you are almost spot on with a project I was going to start up a while ago. The idea was that it would take a select group of emerging artists every year and get them to produce their own show professionally, with the aid of local mentors. Unfortunately, it's a mammoth task both for finances, time and administration. And this is somewhat done at St Martins, only more 'acting' focused. So that's on my to do list for when I have some money. %) But a work experience program is an interesting way to put it. I don't really have the contacts to put something like that together, but it would be interesting to create an 'angel' work experience program, where you put your name on a wishlist (I want to do...) and someone else can put their name on a wantlist (I want to offer someone else the opportunity to do...), and then just match everyone up.... I wonder whether that would work? Sticky Apple Legs www.freewebs.com/stickyapplelegs Puppets in Melbourne www.thepromptcopy.com/pip
