what the...
Wed, 21 Dec 2005, 08:05 amok, so who was it who said that australian theatre is sub standard?
granted the local companies could perhaps do with a cash injection, and the actors are less than impresive, but some do go on to better things..like neighbours!
are there any people who attend nada and wapa, that have any talent or do they just let any body in?

Re: NADA just about sums it up

Who was it who said that Australian spelling is less than 'impresive' ?
Any body or anybody?
And really, I wonder what the whole point is of training to be an actor? The ABC is down to about six minutes a day of local drama, and the commercial networks are scraping the barrel. Apparently we'd rather be watching Big Brother, Australian Idol, Dancing With The Stars, any number of Do-it-yourself and travelogue info-programmes, cheap Reality TV, Survivor-style competitions, and everything else the USA feeds us. Thank the current government for ignoring the arts industry when it negotiated the free-trade agreement with the USA, because there's now going to be MORE American product flooding our market and less Australian content being made, because we cannot compete with the US infrastructure and economies of scale.
Neighbours isn't necessarily a 'bigger and better' thing, but don't knock it, because it's one of the ONLY things.
Cheers,
Craig
