Performing Arts Schools in WA
Wed, 13 Nov 2002, 01:41 pmHi
I was wondering if anyone could help me with some information about performing arts shcools in WA for youth.
I have a 11 year old sister who is talented in Drama, Dance and Singing. She has been involved in musicals, TV work, commercials etc in South Australia. However she is currently shifting to Western Australia and I am wanting to know of what is the best performing arts school to send her to. In Adelaide she is currently involved with South Australian Casting and Mighty Good Productions. I am wanting something similar in Perth. A school that basis is Drama, Dance and Singing and who also have an agency for auditions etc that come up.
If anyone could help or put me in the right direction it would be great.
Thank you
Sophie

John Curtin Senior High School is now known as John Curtin College of the Arts. The name was changed about three years ago to reflect the new curriculum which now has several arts related specialist subjects. Music Theatre, Drama, Dance, Ballet, Music, and Media Arts are just a few that spring to mind. The College has it's own theatre and was recently given a government grant of about $5m to build a performing arts centre, commencement of this will start early next year, I think. The school is well respected in the theatrical world and has turned out some outstanding talent in the past. Paul Mecurio, of "Strictly Ballroom" is probably the best known student of fame. The Dance Studio at the school, which has a sprung floor, is named in his honour.
Hope this helps
