Help please.. especially WAAPA< NIDA< CPA students
Sat, 27 Sept 2003, 05:51 pmMy daughter is currently studying year 10 (year 11 drama)
She is working a lot in amateur theatre (musical theatre and drama)and is getting paid to sing solo at al festivals carols etc...
She currently takes private dance, singing and music theory lessons
She has won acting and singing scholarships
However...
we feel we have reached a watershed and need to decide some things NOW to assist in possible entry to WAAPA, NIDA or CPA
The school she is at provides dance, drama and music to year twelve..
but lately has had trouble keeping teachers.... this of course varies the quality of her education a lot...
we are trying to decide;
whether to attend a recognised PA school (which would mean a lot more travelling and cut down on productions and private lessons)
remain where we are and pursue the same avenue
do a 2 year PA course in Adelaide (but subjects other than dance/drama have to be open access study)
switch to a recognised private school (which again cuts down time for productions and private training)
soooooo
if there is an answer to this
which carries the most weight??
Examination certificates ie level 4 music theory / voice
Experience in large productions with large roles
A recognised school
or a fulltime performing arts course
We need to make the switch soon
any advice gratefully appreciated

Everyone keeps saying that NIDA takes ppl With life experince. I am 15 and i have just been accepted.. They start from a very young age there is like 5-19 and the other is 20 to like 29 or somthing. It is not that hard. i found that i just showed them the talents i had and they took there time to finally ring me and tell i was accepted i waited for bout 8 months and i am going there next year. I still believ that you dont need to ttent a drama school to become famous. im going to see if it helps. From SKye
