Looking for Work; June 2012 Onwards!

G'day Steve!

I feel you get more work in theatre on the east coast, rather than in here in the west, as there is more proeatre  happening there, on the other side of the 'rabbit proof' fence.

Also one of the first things pohms notice is the vast distances here between anywhere, as compaired to the ol' dart {England}. I was born a geordie on Tynesdie & have been here since 1960. I'm still  only a pohmy ba'tard, that never had the operation to become an occer.

If you can image that Perth to Sydney is about as far as from London as itis to Moscow, that might give you a clue.

Proeatre is still primarily Melbourne [VIC] followed closely by Sydney [NSW],  Adelaide {SA] & the  Gold Coast [Queensland].

In the East it is or was fairly easy to pick up work as initialy part of a bump in/out crew on a casual basis. If you are a qualified sparky bring your indeture papers & whatever, because you would need to be licenced to carry out electrical work, especialy in WA, SA & Queensland. From experience in theatre in the other states they tended to be a wee bit slacker. [but that might have changed since I was over there working in theatre years ago). However others on the forum would be able to throw a lot more light on this, as I know Jeff Hanson is a Licenced Sparky {Electrical Contractor} & I believe also that Logos is as well.  Along with I'm sure a few others on the forum.
