Looking for internships or jobs
Thu, 24 Sept 1998, 12:17 pmHello, I am a technical theater student in the United States, and am looking for either jobs or internships in Western Australia. I am in the BFA program for technical design and production with my two focuses being stage managing and costume design. I am very interested in finding a job or an internship, and any information would be greatly appreciated, since its a bit hard for me to get much info on jobs there, here in the US. Thanks so much!-Rebecca

Thu, 24 Sept 1998, 02:49 pmHi RebeccaProbably even tougher finding a paid job or internship over here in WA.:)WA's professional theatre scene is very small, you may do better looking for contacts in Sydney and Melbourne. You might have some luck looking here:Australian Theatre GuideHowever, we do have a well respected Academy of Performing Arts here in WA. They run a programme probably not dis-similar to your BFA course. They have courses in stage management, costume and related areas. Perhaps they could point you to companies here that might be prepared to offer you an internship - if they haven't used them all themselves.Check out:http://waapa.cowan.edu.au/Perhaps you could set up an exchange or something?Very best of luck with this. I'm trying to arrange an MFA in the UK for the end of next year - not easy!CheersGrant
