Best University acting course in Perth ?

Hi there, been doing a bit of research but cant find any opinions or reviews on acting courses at Uni in perth. I currently have no experience in acting and am signed up for a beginner course in late January. If i do well with this I would like to pursue it further. Seeing as I'd obviously have no chance of getting into WAAPA or anything like that I'm looking at more easily accesible paths to get started. The uni websites are a bit confusing but i managed to find these courses so far; Curtin: Performace studies degree http://courses.curtin.edu.au/course_overview/undergraduate/performance possibly with a double major of screen arts. AND ECU: Bachelor of arts (Performing Arts) http://www.ecu.edu.au/future-students/our-courses/search?sq_content_src=%2BdXJsPWh0dHAlM0ElMkYlMkZ3ZWJzZXJ2aWNlcy53ZWIuZWN1LmVkdS5hdSUyRmZ1dHVyZS1zdHVkZW50cyUyRmNvdXJzZS12aWV3LnBocCUzRmlkJTNEMDAwMDAwMTQ1OSUyNmxvY2F0aW9uJTNEJmFsbD0x (sorry for the long links) anyway any opinions or ideas would be greatly appreciated :) Jamie Nicholson

Both of the courses you mention are good. As a graduate of the Curtin course, I am biased toward it. I think the best thing about the Curtin course is the frequency of opportunity to audition and perform. The Hayman theatre is (despite recent and now infamous downsizing) the busiest theatre in Perth. During semester there is a new show every week, and as a student you are eligible and encouraged to audition for all of them. You won't get in to everything, but that's life- and not succeeding in auditions is a very important skill for a performer to learn. Feel free to e-mail me cernunnon@gmail.com if you would like more info, I could wax lyrical, but that's just as likely to start a flame war :)
