Auditions for Drama Institutions...
Sun, 18 Nov 2001, 01:33 amWell, 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.

Tue, 4 Dec 2001, 06:00 pmI must say I'm with Eliot on this one...the name change from Hayman doesn't make a blind bit of difference to the course itself, surely? However, if we are going to go into semantics:
Yes, the term 'Hayman' did set the theatre apart, and that was exactly what I thought of it when I was a Curtin Student - it was an elitist and separatist theatre company ONLY for those crazy/lucky/wealthy enough to be studying theatre. Those of us in other courses at Curtin had absolutely no opportunity to be involved in the Hayman productions, in any capacity, but particularly not on stage. As I was told to 'get a real job' before pursuing acting seriously, I did a professional course, and thus had no electives while I was at uni so couldn't even study one theatre unit to qualify me to audition for Hayman shows. Out of protest, I never attended a Hayman production while I was there. Hooray for UDS! (The Dolphin's a better venue anyway...humph).
The fact that it was called 'Hayman' I found misleading - this suggested that it was a theatre company not bound to Curtin in any way, apart from its location, meaning there were no criteria to become involved. Not so. The name change to Curtin Theatre, I think, will clarify this (i.e. shortened form of 'Curtin Theatre Students Only'). If a name change is going to herald changes, for the love of Mike, please institute at least one open production per year! I can't be the only student thespian in history who stupidly followed other people's advice when choosing my university course! It's bloody harsh for a Curtin student to make it over the Narrows to a UDS rehearsal in peak hour traffic, but at present, that's just about the only student-theatre option open to people not studying theatre at Curtin.
