10 Things I love about the ITA

INTERACT - I remember spending a weekend partaking in interactive lectures and workshops on pretty much all aspects of theatre at the Kalamunda Ag. College.
This was pretty much my introduction to the ITA s an organisation, and boy was I impressed.
Knowing from past experience in the music industry just how much it costs to get "professional" advice or help, (let alone "hands on" assistance), it seemed to me as if the ITA must have outlaid a small fortune to allow me and so many other theatre devotees the opportunity to be advised by some of the best known Stage Managers, Lighting Technicians, Directors, Actors, Dramaturgs and Fight Choreo's Perth had to offer. Coupled with this was the chance to make friends with an amazing array of people from local and country clubs, from complete novices to seasoned veterans. As it happens, they did outlay a small fortune, so much so that it hasn't happened since.
To me it is a shame that "INTERACT" as a weekender has been financially unviable for the ITA for some years now, but suggestions by one of our "outer" clubs may just see it back soon and I for one can't wait!!
