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

Tree, you might want to

Tree, you might want to consider that there's practically no money doing tech work. If you want to eat, then try a 'normal' job - you'll find most of us techies are doing 'normal' jobs, just like the other artists out there. If you do want to get into the production side, start off in the amatuer community, where you can get some experience. You may want to look at getting a certificate in something (pick - lighting, sound, etc) and apply with local production companies. ALIA would be the best place to start with getting some contacts, and their forum is always a good source of info/networking.
