Re: RADA Auditions

My Dd enjoyed her RADA auditions. She got to the third round but it was expensive - lots of money for train from South Wales and overnight accommodation :(. I suppose it wouldn't have been so bad had she got in :)

Re: Drama school or not? So confused!

Can I just add that you get far more than just contacts from drama training? You get a chance to explore and develop different ways to approach your craft. You learn a LOT - and in a less judgemental environment than trying out these things in jobs and work. You have your mind opened up to different...

Re: Dance and period pain

My DD went through this as well. It can really be debilitating; over the counter tablets had little effect on her. I remember her fainting a couple of times with the pain. Eventually when she was 17 she went on the pill and this solved all her problems - I wish we had done it sooner but it seemed a ...

Re: I think we need a plan C

Not surprisingly every year a lot of students got onto excellent courses in great colleges. My DD said that those who had done a l...

Re: singing lessons

If you attend a local concert you could ask a performer who their singing teacher is.
