Information on Technical Production courses
Wed, 26 Feb 2003, 07:59 amHey, I stumbled across these forums while looking for information about various tech production courses. I'm looking to apply at the end of this year and was hoping someone (or someones) would be able to help me by giving some pros and cons about the various degrees.
At the moment I'm looking at apply to NIDA, VCA, WAAPA, USQ and possibly QUT, JCU and the Uni of Ballarat. Any thoughs people could offer on these (or other) courses would be very welcome.
Thanks!

Wed, 26 Feb 2003, 03:20 pmThe information I should have put in my original message. I live in Brisbane and am currently doing a BA with a view to changing to a BA/BBus (events management) so I can have a degree which will help to pay the rent and make me more employable. Ultimatly I want to end up doing stage management or production management, with a little bit of lighting design thrown in.
I've been doing amature theatre for about four and a half years now, with a fair bit of sound and lighting experience so I'm working on getting my sm-ing experience to the same level. I'm also going to be doing a certificate III in entertainment at tafe next semester so I can have an all important "piece of paper." ;)
I didn't know about alia.com.au, so I shall check it out. It's good to hear that there are voluntary positions available at the fringe festivals, as Brisbane is putting it's first one on this year, so I shall get right on to the organisers.
But thanks for your help Don. And the only reason why I've covered "Australasia" is because I learnt this year not to put all of my eggs in one basket. :)
