Options for beginners - theatre groups or short classes?
Fri, 8 May 2009, 04:57 pmHi all,
My apologies if I have posted this in the wrong forum - this one seemed the most appropriate.
My question is, what do you feel would be the better option for beginner? Joining a local theatre group, or going for a short introductory course on acting?
I'm 25 and would like to see if acting is something I could have some fun with as a hobby.
For a while now I've been googling around, looking for a group who offer short introductory courses to acting, but I can't find any in my area. Everything I've found so far either seems to be interstate, or for under 18s. (I'm in Brisbane).
The other option is to join a theatre group, but I thought perhaps paying for some proper tuition would be a better way to go?
Are there any beginner clinics around Brisbane as introductions to what acting is all about?
If anybody has any suggestions, I would be very appreciative.
Thank you! -lilly
Options for Beginners

I would definitely recommend Norma's option of checking out your local theatre company and i fully endorse what she has said.
By going along to the theatre, you can get a feel for the craft by talking to other performers & interacting with the group as a whole (ie painting sets, working back-stage, even going through the audition process)
It's a great buzz to be involved in community theatre and I think you would find it well worth your while.
Regards,
Mark
