Re: Elephant in the room

For info every one. I emailed Spotlight to ask if the course my daughter will be starting in Sept. (BA MT at PPA), meets their new criteria. I had a very swift response. Reassuringly, it does!

Re: Auditioning for 2017

That's wonderful news Stageyails, has she decided if she's going to accept it? Dd is doing the ArtsEd foundation, she'd really like to stay there but we won't know if she has an offer for a few weeks yet.

Re: Auditioning for 2017

Well there were 26 at the GSA recall today, 4 kept back for interview (2 girls, 2 boys), sadly dd wasn't one of them. I've spoken to her, she is fine and feels she did her best. Onwards and upwards!
Stageyails does your dd's name begin with L ?

Re: Auditioning for 2017

I understand about the superfluous audition thing Stageyails, I wondered about it. Dd says at Arts they are auditioned by people who have never taught them on the Foundation, so there is an element of being judged on that day's performance. I'm sure the teachers talk though, and effectively they've ...

Re: Auditioning for 2017

Re GSA BA MT, dd has 2 friends (both boys) who have been offered / accepted places in the last 2 years from BTec courses. Plus one who did A levels and definitely didn't get the grades but was accepted.So A level isn't the only option. All were really talented. Dd has a recall on Saturday, she is ap...

Re: Auditioning for 2017

Dd has her first audition tomorrow at LCM. GSA and LAMDA soon after. Central and Mountview in April. Her ArtsEd ones will be throughout March, she is doing the Foundation there so they do one discipline a week, think it's acting first for her. Fingers and toes crossed in our house. Good luck to all ...

Re: Auditioning for 2017

Kzgirl, I think it's a bit of a balancing act. The main reason dd did the foundation was to bring her dance skills up to the standard required for auditions. Her head of year was very keen they didn't audition until they were as well prepared as possible.

Re: Auditioning for 2017

Lovely to read of all the successes so far, and good luck to all those still to audition/hear. Dd hasn't had her first audition yet, she is doing a foundation year at ArtsEd (MT) so purposely leaving it late, on their advice, to get the maximum benefit. Her auditions won't finish until April. I feel...

September 2016 starters

Dd starts her MT foundation at ArtsEd on Friday, she moved into her house share on Monday. She has lovely housemates, all on the same course. I just wanted to wish all those starting their courses this month the best of luck and to say I'm thinking of all the mums and dads who'll be missing them.

Re: Auditioning for 2016

Fantastic news for your dd Lindy. Make sure she is on the waiting list for accommodation, there will be some students who just don't turn up for the start of term. There will also be facebook freshers pages for GSA and the University, someone might be seeking a flatmate, get her to join. Good luck.

Re: Housing Benefit while studying

It's Showtime, Good luck, where is he going to be studying? Dd is looking for somewhere to live with a few others from her course, she won't be able to apply for HB until she has a tenancy agreement. Her course starts on 9th September but I won't be surprised if we have to take a tenancy starting in...
