Catch 22
Wed, 8 Feb 2006, 02:48 pmI'm a 24 year old female in Perth trying to break into the musical theatre/performing arts area. Finding it to be a catch 22 auditioning for pro/am productions which seem to end up taking on "qualified" individuals anyway (whether they be a waapa or nida grad)... then auditioning for waapa at the end of the year, when they like to see you've been proactive in participating in these pro/am productions in your personal statement. How does one win?! Anyone else finding it tough?

Most amateur theatre groups putting on musicals seem to end up with an archival video of their shows so why not get into these musicals as chorus or acting even if you can't get a lead yet to build up a demo showcase of what you can do to take to future auditions.
You will also meet other people and build up your networking to find out which directors to work with to help your career.
Check out Yellowglass, their RENT was great, everyone excelled.
