The Performing Arts in Australia
Tue, 20 May 2003, 08:21 amHi
I'm doing a research assignment at the moment about how the performing arts in Australia compare to the rest of the world and how well we are know for it and I was wondering if there are any good places to start looking for information. I have gathered basic information but any places you can think of or information you could give me would be greatly appreciated.
Thankyou
Erin

Erin pondered:
"How the performing arts in Australia compare to the rest of the world and how well we are known for it?"
Just a thought, but Hugh Jackman is currently one of Hollywood's hottest stars, on top of the world (heh, had to squeeze that in), able to pick and choose between Broadway musicals and movie blockbusters. His name and face are seemingly everywhere - newspapers, magazines, Internet. How many of those mention that he got his training in a small but prestigious institution in the most isolated capital city in the world?
I don't know the answer, but it might be a contemporary angle to look at. Especially considering Hugh's about to open (I think) in an Aussie musical on Broadway (the first?) In the context of your assignment, it will be very interesting to see how the rest of the world receives the show...
