Could someone point me in the right direction? Looking for advice

Hi Guys! First off I'd like to thank you all for this awsome site! I have already gained a little knowledge of the mountain that is out there! I am fifteen years of age and I am extremely interested into getting into acting/performing. I am interested in stage and screen acting, anything to do with a performance really. I am currently studying at John Curtin College of the Arts in the drama specialist program. Apart from auditions and a small school film, I have never done acting infront of a camera. I have some experience in singing and 13 years of dance. I was wondering if anyone could suggest workshops, classes etc in the Perth area that would be of use to me to gain experience and better myself. If it has already been covered it would much appreciated if you could tell me where? Also I was wondering if anyone could tell me anything about Actors Now and Actors Management? I have read throught their classes and what I can of their websites, but any feedback from actors who have been there done that would be awsome! Cheers! Emily

Hi Emily,

The PAC Screen Workshops (screenworkshop.com.au) have an excellent rep, although they're probably only for over-18s - it might be worth emailing Annie to check!

There's also Stage Door which probably has some summer holiday MT programs (http://stagedoorschool.com).

Annie Stainer's Total Theatre offers weekend courses (http://www.totaltheatre.com.au/) in physical theatre.

And for circus skills there's the WA Circus School (aka Bizircus, http://www.circuswa.com/wacs/).

If you're still stuck for ideas, try checking the bios of actors your age on agents' websites and see if they've done any courses that interest you.

As for agents, there's a rundown of the three major Perth agencies in this thread.

Good luck!

Hi Emily, The PAC Screen
