Hi Everyone
It is very common to read on here people asking for advice on how to get into WAAPA or NIDA , or how to become a professional actor.
After hearing John Milson last year at the South West One Act Festival say in his summing up that everyone in amateur theatre should be attending classes, it seems to me to be the perfect opportunity for a lot of us to be extending our skills and seeing what else we are capable of, by attending these classes.
Stephen Lee has made a remarkable directorial debut with "The Taming of the Shrew" for GRADS and the New Fortune and is now rehearsing for two plays around town, namely "The Elephant Man' and "Macbeth".
There are a lot of people around who use the saying "Those who can't do, teach". As much as that annoys me, you certainly can't use that phrase for Stephen. He is actively participating in the craft that he teaches.
I have had students, both current and ex students go through his classes and they love his style and skill. They come out of the class being far more confident in their performances and that has to be a good thing.
After having taught Shakespeare for 20 yrs at the Method Studio in London, Stephen is a breath of fresh air for perth theatre.
We all need to re read those comments made by the "Shrew "' cast and then look at our own work. Are we happy to sit back and simply rest on what we know we can do or should we be pushing ourselves to better our performances and ultimately the standard of community theatre.
For those of you who want to pursue acting professionally, you could do no better than to start with Stephens classes and you can rest assured of having a very solid footing to help you on your way.
For those of us who dont want to become professionals, but still love performing in community theatre, we also need to keep our skills sharpened and we need to keep improving our own performances.
You will be very pleased you did.
