Re: Auditioning for 2016

Dd1 got all no's but as it was her first year of applying for acting, rather than MT and she looks 14/15 even though she's 20 is no surprise. She plans to work, save some money, join a drama company for experience, take some singing and dance classes and try again next year. She now knows which Unis...

Re: The Nutcracker - Lucy Bevan casting

I checked and it's casting age rather than actual age so my 20 yr old dd has applied - she still gets child fares on buses and no-one believes her actual age :)

What to do at 18 - places but reserve lists

Hi, So dd2 auditioned for 6 colleges and got Diploma places at 5 and Foundation offer at Urdang. She is on Reserve lists for Performers (no 20) and Bodyworks (Reserve Pool as they don't have a list per se).

Wilkes or Liberatus?

Dd2 is trying to decide what to do next year if she doesn't get funding from the Reserve Lists. Her friends and teachers have suggested the 2 colleges above. She's 18 currently and hasn't done A levels. Can anyone advise me on the two colleges? She is taking her RAD Advanced 2 ballet and Advanced 1 ...

Re: Auditioning for 2016

Dd2 is in the top quarter of the Reserve list for Performers (there are 80 people on there). Still waiting to hear from Bodyworks to see where she is there.
Hoping that a place comes up.

Re: Auditioning for 2016

Letter arrived from Performers today - no funding for Dd so 3 options given. 1) Fund place ourselves - not an option. 2) Do a pre voc there - she's already on a pre-voc so doesn't want to do another. 3) Reserve list. Guess that will be option 3 then. So we now have 2 Reserve places - Performers and ...

Re: Auditioning for 2016

Thanks for your post regarding audition information for Urdang 2016 entry Losingtheplot. However, it still does not explain the email my dd received inviting her to a recall audition to be considered for the Diploma/Degree course after a successful first audition to then be told during the interview...
