Hey I have just spoken to a couple of girls who have left Brent Street before they finished the performing arts course, they said its gone down hill. Does anyone in NSW know whats happening there. When you read some of the musical theatre programs that tell you where the artists have studied, some say Brent Street but have moved on to other teaching facilities to study musical theatre.

I was looking at Brent Street but they say its just a dance school with fifty or more to a class. Its alot of money to pay for "just a dance school" And not even their professionals are getting any work

Does anybody realise that some courses/schools are not for everybody? I'm sure Brent St is great for some people, and bad for others. It depends on your abilities (not just talent, but the want to learn) sure, but some teacher's techniques work for some, and are hated by others. I had a teacher at school who constantly tried to use reverse psychology on me, which is absolutely the wrong way to get me to do anything. I respond to being left to my own devises. On the other hand, my friend found this to be beneficial, and appreciated being pushed like this... It all depends on your temperament and the best way that you learn. Stop arguing, it's not a fight anyone can win. The Prompt Copy Networking emerging theatre professionals www.thepromptcopy.com Sticky Apple Legs http://stickyapplelegs.artsblogs.com
