So it looks like dd will be taking a gap year. She got a no from GSA, her final BA audition this year. She is still waiting for a couple of interview dates for foundation, which were the outcomes of BA auditions. Neither of them are funded, and whatever the outcome she’s decided not to do a foundat...

And we’re finally done! All auditions over and results in. Stupidly proud of DS who having got no degree offers last year has got degree offers from Royal Welsh, RCS, EDA, Mountview and postgrad at RAM. To anyone not getting the results they want this year know that taking a year out is definitely ...

Hi, her recall is on Wednesday. Has your ds made a decision? Break a leg to her - hope she enjoys it and it goes really well. My son will accept GSA unless he magically gets a place at Central from the reserve list. He really likes GSA too and would be very happy to go there, but just wants to wait...

On the issue of foundations, I had a look at graduating years profiles from the top places we were targeting to see how many had done foundations before the BA (they usually list on spotlight profile). So for instance, GSA MT 23 37 grads 1 Bird foundation 5 GSA foundation 1 Arts Ed foundation 1 Emi...

The holiday inn is very close - certainly walking distance. It’s right between Stag Hill campus and Manor Park.

Can someone shed some light on me please. Looking on the GSA website for info about the foundation course in acting, it says that student loans are available. Is this something new, as far as I was aware the foundation was not covered by student finance. There’s a link attached but it but it gives ...

Good luck to everyone waiting to audition or waiting for news. Update from DS so far, for BA Acting: BOVTS : zoom done, no recall. Rose Bruford: sent tapes, no recall. Leeds Conservatoire: sent tapes, recalled but has withdrawn (see below) Guildhall: tapes sent weeks ago, still waiting for news (lo...

So blooming happy - DD got offer of Degree at ArtsEd yesterday. Her absolute dream school. Happy doesn't begin to describe how we are all feeling. This was her third year of applying, so for those of you who may be in a similar situation to us, there is absolutely hope! Brilliant! Massive congratul...

I don’t know this college personally but it is always sad to hear of a training college in financial trouble - the industry has lost a few in the last year or so and I’m sure this won’t be the last. I feel so sorry for the students. I hope the link works - READ college https://www.instagram.com/p/Cl...

Let's be honest, most performers will not get roles on the West End stage whether 'leads' or 'ensembles'. There are just not that many roles/ jobs available if you count them up and so I believe it's really important that colleges prepare their students for many types of performing job that the ind...

This is not a fool proof plan by any means, but it does give you a feel for the success of students. Make a list of say 10 west end or touring shows that your DC would be interested in doing. Check out their bio’s on cast lists and see where they trained (usually on websites nowadays). Also keep the...

Hoping all new starters are settling into their courses. My DS absolutely LOVES GSA. Couldn’t be happier. Early days but signs are incredibly positive.

Just to update you. Yesterday dd was offered a panto tour (small scale venues) for 6 weeks over November/December. She also took part in an paid Arts Council funded multi-media dance/art project last month. Her ambition was to be able to tell stories so this is a start! That is really good to hear ...

What a terrible shame. I am actually quite shocked this should have happened. I just despair at some peoples behaviour.
