Re: Applying for 2013

Hi All,

Has anyone heard from Mountview about dada funding yet or does anyone know when they will be allocating it?? Dd has an offer from Conti but is holding out for mountview but we don't know when they review their allocations.

Thanks

Re: Diploma vs Degree (URdang help please)

Hi If you read the trinity college blurb it makes it clear that the diploma is a level six qualification ie an equivalent level to a degree BUT is designed to be a vocational qualification so very much practical based. The problem is compounded by some drama schools offering one or the other route o...

Re: GSA Auditions

There wasnt a specific list last year so this is new. They do like a legato song and stay away from current commercial MT songs. Other than that take your pick off the list :lol:

Re: Applying for 2013

Oh just a heads up for those going to MT Mountview......they do get sneaky and ask you which of your 2 songs you want to sing....when you answer they ask to her the other one!! Moral of story is to double bluff or be comfortable with both songs and therefore don't care if they try that on you. :lol:

Re: Applying for 2013

Dorothy - Dd has been really helped by the foundation course at gsa. Her dance was always her weakness now i would say it has improved the most. Her acting has always been her strongest point and she feels that hasn't really been strectched and singing is a mixed bag. Helped her tecnically (sorted h...

Re: DaDa Funding for 2013-14

Well here is my two pennies worth. Why do dada's exist? Take drama schools within the SLC umberella and allow offered individuals the same access to funding as other level 6 qualifications have. To answer one post about why drama training is more expensive than say a maths degree thats simple......t...
