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

So... I don't exactly understand...
Are you aware that NIDA and WAAPA are three year degrees? If you want to go and study for three years and come out of that with a degree... then honey go for your freakin life. At Brent Street Full Time you are getting a Cert IV in Performing Arts, you are getting a one year intense full time course. You get one year to prove yourself... that's it. And when you have to study Ballet, Jazz, Tap, Contempory, Singing and Drama to obtain your certificate of course it is going to seem that you concentrate more on dance becasuse the different styles of dance make up the syllabus. That's the board of education... not Brent Street.
No one at Brent Street compares themselves to the likes of NIDA or WAAPA... we'll leave those assumptions to the likes of singing studios in Newtown... Like I said in a previous post... we are the best at what we offer. Brent Street doesn't have the luxury of spending three years with a student... they have one. So... the comparison there is irrelevant because everything that each of those three institutions encapsulates is completely different. However... Cert IV in PA is also available at ED5, and that's who we compare oursleves to... well... let me rephrase... they compare themsleves to us.
PS - Eisteddfods schmesteddfod's... who cares!!!??? No, Brent Street do not win everything... at the same time... we don't enter everything. And we have beaten all those school previosuly mentioned before here and in Ballarat and abroad. Not to mentio that many of the Dancer's of the Year have been Brent Street students, including this years. Although if we wanna get petty and start looking up results lets look at who has ever beaten Brent Street in a Song and Dance section anywhere? Song and Dance sections really do ecompass everything singing and dancing... which is what everyone wants (according to these posts), right... and, why, oh yes, wait a minute that's right... no one ever has.
But like I said, it ain't about Esiteddfods it's about passion and respect... and those who make it from Brent Street are the one's who understand that.
Honey, congratulations about getting yourself there... that's fab. I wish I could be like you and claim independant greatness... I however like to show appreciation for my success... and I do to the people who really helped me get there.
