Change of career - seeking advice

Hi

I've just quit my job as a business executive after climbing up the corporate ladder for the past 10 years. Why? Because I want to work in the entertainment industry, preferably in the performing arts field. I'd like to learn how to act, and I'm wondering what the best strategy is to achieve this. I live in Sydney, but am pretty mobile.

Does anyone have some good advice for me?

Thanks.

SIMON

It's a hell of a way to get started in the arts. The jobs are
intermittent. You spend most of the time chasing down work- like
the stock market the trades are already done by the time you hear about the show, so insider trading is essential.
Best of luck.
