Auditions for Drama Institutions...

Well, its that time of the year again, the time that we can look forward to auditions for the performing arts courses all over Australia.

I was wondering how many people on the site have auditions coming up over the next few months/weeks for WAAPA or NIDA or VCA, or all of them as it may very well be.

My auditions are now only two weeks away for Musical theatre and Classical music at WAAPA.

NIDA has already had their auditions haven't they? How did people go?? I like to hear about these things... :)

C'mon people, share!! It's good therapy.

Hi Dritan

Some people I've met in the world may argue that LIFE is pretty "fuct"...yet that obviously doesn't make it any less of a great learning experience.

Similarly, I don't think you can really support such a wild claim against Drama Intitutions. There are positive and negative aspects both to studying there, or to avoiding there; but all such choices are valid.

Continually showing up to auditions is good advice, so long as you are LEARNING something in the process, otherwise maybe you DO risk getting 'tired' and disheartened. Just turning up is no guarantee of landing "something breathtaking".

I expressed the view a few months ago that 'life' is only a good teacher if you are a consciencious student, and learn to turn your experience into technique.
...Something that Drama Institutions, for all their faults, are actually pretty good at.


Cheers,

That is too much presumption on thy part!
