Advice and help needed
Mon, 24 May 2004, 06:28 amHi, my name is Mike and I have just come across your forum while looking for theatres in Australia. The reason I am searching is that my daughter will be going on her gap year to Spain in a little while and, for reasonÂ’s too long to explain here, I feel I would like to take some time out as well.
I have been involved with Amateur Dramatics in the UK for about 18 years, mainly as Chief LX for a company that does 22 productions a year. I design about 4 shows a year and help with most of the others. I am capable of designing and constructing basic sets and have a good knowledge of Stage Management. My “day job” is IT Systems Engineer.
What I would like to do is come over to Australia and work with a theatre company to broaden my experience with the aim of returning to the UK when my daughter goes to Uni. My first question is, does anyone know if I would be able to get a visa to do this and secondly would I be able to find any work, paid, profit share, unpaid?
I know this may not be quite the right place to ask but I thought it might be worth a go.
Thanks in advance.
