WAAPA Music Theatre Audition

Hi all I'm confused :S I have been preparing for my WAAPA MT audition by 'performing' my songs as if I were in a production of the musicals...one in particular with quite a bit of movement...using a chair etc. My friend told me today, however, that there is an X on the floor which you are supposed to stand on, and that - although you can move slightly - you are primarily to simply sing with expression. Can anyone clear this up for me - particularly those with first-hand experience - because I am extremely confused...and worried :S I feel like a bit strange asking this, but I will feel even more strange if I 'perform' my songs at my audition to some very confused auditioners that expect me to stand on an X. Thanks :) x

Everyone will probably give you different advice but I would use a chair if thats what you want to do. It shows character and the ability to be, maybe, different and they like that. Someone who stands out. My friend used a chair and got in. There are no rules to say you must stand on the spot. Just wondering how everyone has gone in the WAAPA auditions so far??? Any call backs
