Re: Auditioning for 2023 entry

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...

Re: Auditioning for 2023 entry

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...

Re: Auditioning for 2023 entry

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

Re: Auditioning for 2023 entry

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 ...

Re: Auditioning for 2023 entry

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 Leeds Conservatoire: sent tapes, recalled but has withdrawn (see below) Guildhall: tapes sent weeks ago, still waiting for news (lo...

Re: Mt sixth forms

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...

Re: Colleges and their different focuses

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...

Re: Colleges and their different focuses

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...

Re: Auditioning for 2022 entry

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.

Re: The end or the start - who knows

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.

Re: Amount of jazz dance at 6th form college

I would say that: the commercial dance, the modern and commercial jazz all classify as ‘jazz’ and would all be beneficial in an audition scenario. Quantity is not really the issue, it’s more the quality of those lessons that counts.

Re: Auditioning for 2022 entry

Hi just found out a week ago my DD got a place on the BA Acting course at Mountview. Delighted but a mad rush to get ready to move to London. She turned 18 four days later so it’s been a fantastic celebration. Good luck to everyone starting over the next couple of weeks How wonderful! Congratulatio...
