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

My MY MY I cant believe the moderators have left such defaming comments on this site. Whether you like jackie or not those comments are just awful. The original comment about "What has happened to Brent Street" was posted in January 2006 then it lay dorment till April 2006 until this website got a makeover which listed previous topics and got ppl on the band wagon and stirred up again. Did people read what Denise Love wrote on the 1/2/06 on the topic. I am glad Brent Street faculty read what others have to say and act on it or do they. It was February that they were going to move to Fox, havent they moved yet?? Why? My darling Cameron has left? Why? Did full time student Melissa go to the Moulin Rouge or is she still at Brent Street suffering with all the broken promises they have given her. It is interesting how past students perceive Brent Street. I believe a certain amount of brainwashing is involved with those that stay. They become the 'golden haired' people who are made feel special by they faculty. But it is at their financial expense. There is only a handful of really good talent there that do well in comps granted but have you seen the standard of the concert, very average. Those who are good would be good at whatever school they went to, if you are born with talent any good teacher can work well with you. I do have to say that melb is really old fashioned I can understand that one.
