Whats Happened to Brent Street
Tue, 31 Jan 2006, 12:26 pmHey 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

Can only say its not a true performing arts course. Why pay thousands on a course thats supposed to offer everything then spend hundreds on private lessons that the course doesnt cover adequately. Maybe ED5 doesnt have sing classes but NIDA and WAAPA do. There courses are full on, covering equal amounts of each genre. Brent Street does not, it concentrates on dance. I have done the course remember.
Yes certain groups are excellent at Brent Street some groups are not. I understand what you are saying about how hard it is to get blood out of a stone. But have you ever been to Barbara Jaynes Concert in Adelaide, or Bev Palmer and Barbara Lynch in Melbourne or John Cleary in Perth. Spectacular. I think you need to check out a few more dance schools. I dont see Brent Street winning everything, yes they do win alot but not everything. The talented schools who enter in Ballarat, their groups from 5 years old to adult each and everyone is brilliant.
I have no bad taste about Brent Street, I have said I loved the dance and the teachers but for the money and tuition it is not a performing arts course.
I have been in major shows because I got myself there. This is mine and many others opinion in the industry
