New Poll - longevity
Fri, 10 Oct 2003, 05:22 amI guess this survey is intending to balance the last one....we now know how old you were when you started - so how long have you been going for?

Re: New Poll - longevity
A strangely disproportionate result from the latest poll...
315 participants this fortnight.
173 (54%) have been practising theatre for less than a year.
The next largest group was the 7% who have been involved for 16-20 years. All other results are quite small percentages, mostly practising between 3 and 6 years.
This result may be explained in the last poll, which showed that 55% of the voters started theatre under the age of 15. The two results together suggest that the overwhelming majority of poll participants are still at school with virtually no experience.
However, I did notice that the votes in that category seemed to jump ahead virtually overnight, casting doubt over their authenticity. Perhaps we have a young, inexperienced, and way over-enthusiastic multiple voter...?
Whether this is the case or not, I have discounted the first category to make a more realistic percentage comparison amongst the remaining categories.
Of the remaining 142 votes:
16% (23 votes) have been in theatre for 16-20 years
15% (22 votes) for 3-4 years
15% (21 votes) for 5-6 years
12% (17 votes) for 9-10 years
11% (16 votes) for 1-2 years
10 % (14 votes) for 11-15 years
6% (9 votes) for 26-30 years
6% (9 votes) for over 40 years
5% (7 votes) for 7-8 years
2% (3 votes) for 21-25 years
1 % (1 vote) for 31-40 years
These results, paired with those from the last poll, suggest that about 30% of us here have been involved in theatre for more than 15 years, and probably since we were highschool age.
Tenacious old buggers, aren't we?
Cheers,
