Just a question
Wed, 10 May 2006, 02:28 amHey everybody,
My name is Christina and I´m from Germany. I only wanted to ask if anyone knows if and how I can work
in an australian theatre? Well, actually I´m looking for a practical (Praktikum) or something like that. I
I did some things like that and I´m currently working as a dramaturg. I always wanted to work in Austrlia and was just wondering if it would be possible.
I´m looking forward to hear from anyone.
Sunny greetings from Germany,
Christina
Difficult answer
Wed, 10 May 2006, 09:09 amFor most people in Australia, working in theatre is tough - even if you already live here! Try checking out whether there are grants or exchange programs available, or if you are interested do a university course. Internships/work experience are usually reserved for Aussies, unless you have a grant or funding to back you.
Of course, you could just try coming here and test your luck... which could be considerably harder.
There's no easy answer to this, since most of us are scrounging for jobs anyway...
Good luck with it though!
