Looking for Paid/Unpaid casual theatre work.
Thu, 30 Apr 2009, 09:54 pmI'm new to Melbourne, having just moved from Hobart and I'm searching for Paid or Unpaid (Hopefully Paid) Work around Melbourne.
I'm 18 and have performed in approx 15 Amature/Professional Amature Shows in Hobart and am currently in Melbourne studying Musical Theatre at VCA until August.
As well as onstage experience, I have a VET Certificate III in Live Production, Theatre and Events (Technical Productions) and have Volunteered as an Usher in Hobart.
Due to commitments both with Study and upcoming performances in Hobart however, I have limited time available on Weekends and some evenings.
Could anyone assist me in finding such work? What should I do to make myself more employable? Being new to Melbourne I don't really know where to start!!
Thankyou so much for your help in advance.
Alex. :)
Can't think of anything in
Sat, 2 May 2009, 03:24 pmCan't think of anything in Brunswick off the top of my head, although you might want to check the recent call for actors on this site from one of our members; they listed Brunswick as the location.
You may want to check the Darebin City website, they are heavily involved in arts and even have a local database for artists and groups. There's the Platform Youth Theatre (and there's the Northcote Town Hall or church hall, I forget which, which is a venue) that's in Northcote. I know there's a few things in Preston and Coburg, but not off the top of my head. And of course, you might want to keep your eye out for people who do auditions for shows at La Mama. Other than that, I'm not familiar enough with the area to offer more (I'm over in the Eastern suburbs, and rarely go to the northern ones)
