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

.NO!.The system is fair! The people who get in are the people the staff want to work with. It’s a bit embarrassing how much you are going on about this quota thing. Would you rather get through to the callbacks just to fill places when they know that you are not going get in? It’s not unfair its just how it is, maybe you are fantastic but just wont fit into the course. They don’t just want talented people, they want people that will fit together nicely and make the 3 years a enjoyable experience. But come back next year and in the mean time try and work on dealing with rejection gracefully. Douglas
