MUST SEE SHOW OF THE WEEK
Location: Sydney (NSW)
Show: Bondi Ballet - Classic Bondi
Following on the heels of its critically acclaimed Bondi Spirit season, Sydney's hottest new dance company Bondi Ballet is about to present its most ambitious season yet: Classic Bondi.
The tour season began in Penrith last weekend with a one-off performance at the EVAN Theatre, and officially opens at the Glen Street Theatre on Friday, June 11.
From there, the show will tour to Taree (June 24-25), Bondi (July 7-17), Gosford (July 22-24) and Dubbo (July 28).
The pioneering and innovative company, which in its two short years of existence has notched up the impressive achievement of creating 16 new works by seven different choreographers, whilst enticing some of the most gifted dancers to perform, is striking a chord with audiences.
"I was so thrilled in the last season to have a company which covered three generations of wonderful dancers, ranging from the legendary Patrick Harding-Irmer and his wife Anca Frankenhaeuser, the likes of Jan Pinkerton through to emerging artists such as the young Emee Dillon, it gave a depth of experience and talent I was very proud of," said founder and Artistic Director Michael Montgomery.
Audiences and critics would seem to have agreed. Montgomery is optimistic and looking forward to the challenges of this year, pioneering a new dance company and presenting a swathe of new creations as well as remounting a couple of favourites.
"I can't wait," said Montgomery. "There are so many talented dancers out there and so few jobs, I'm so glad I can provide stages for them to perform."

ADVICE COLUMN OF THE WEEK
Troy Dodds says:
I'm a bit of a message board regular. I often visit entertainment industry based websites, and check out what people are saying. Most of the time, these boards are clogged with messages from girls aged about 13-15, telling us how talented they are and asking for work work work! Oh, and an agent too if it's not too much trouble.
Reality check! I don't know what these girls (and it's not only girls, but they do make up the bulk) really expect to achieve from this. Most of the messages are along the lines of "I'm blonde, 5'4, I guess I am pretty. A very good actor. I need a job and an agent". Yes, I am sure producers are just chomping at the bit when they read such posts.
This is not supposed to be a massive gripe at the young people who clearly want to be involved in this industry, and yes - some advice does follow.
You see, everything is about natural progression in the entertainment industry. I've worked with a number of performers over the years and have produced them through amateur musicals to co-op plays and finally, onto professional musical theatre productions. You can't just expect people to jump at the chance of hiring an unknown 14-year-old who posted some bad English on a message board. It just doesn't work like that.
On that note, correct grammer is a major problem, it seems, for the teenagers of today. Most of the messages on boards include something like: "U will C how good I can B". Note to all: this is not actually winning you any fans.
So, I hear you ask, what do I do then? It's really quite simple. You see, there's thousands upon thousands of people who want to be an actor, or a theatre performer. Only a handful of those can cut it, and even less will make it.
Back to natural progression. As a 14-year-old, you should be aiming to join your local musical society. Build your skills, learn about the stage and the pressures of performing in a show. It may be an amatuer show, but often the pressures are just as high as they are in a professional production.
From there, take a look at the some of the local talent agencies in your area. Some of them you'll have to pay - but this is okay, as long as you find a good one. Eventually, if you can prove your worth through these means, natural progression will take you further.
But here's a plea: cut out the crap being posted on message boards. It does absolutely nothing for you, is a clear waste of time and in the long run, will do you more damage than good.
