Hi My daughters recently had success with a modern piece by Eleanor McCleod called The Porridge Trauma Incident It's really a modern day take on the Goldilocks fable but set on a cruise ship and really quite funny. Got her a good distinction in LAMDA a first in Arts Festival...and I don't think it's...

An email for my dd to attend too Although considering the amount of time slots i suspect they've invited thousands.....still someone will be lucky

Hi
Does anyone have any experience of this academy 'Midlands Academy of Dance & Drama'. I know its in Nottingham but only seems to offer a Musical Theatre diploma...am i right?? Was handed a leaflet at MOVE IT but didn't get to see their stage display so not sure of their abilities.

Hi There We asked dds dance teachers (at her dance school and her academic school) the same question and they both basically said it would be a total waste of time taking GSCE dance. As she has reached Grade 6 in her RAD Ballet and Grade 4 in NATD Tap &Modern i am told that she has already excee...

Hi All
We're off to this event in March but just wondered if anyones been before? It looks great with some fab classes and demos and quite reasonably priced!

Thanks for your replies. She has got a fairly decent CV so don't think it will be that...but the need to complete one of their workshops is quite possibly it. Don't think we'll bother though TBH. Does it usually take long to hear back if you apply for a casting?

On behalf of my dd i joined The Casting Website on a months trial (£20) Have fully uploaded her profile but its still showing as an unapproved membership? Initially i thought the photos were being approved and that was the delay (although they're good enough for Spotlight!) but after 3 weeks its sti...

Hi there Tikka it was interesting to hear you mention UCAS points. I can't quite understand their value as it seems some uni's don't recognise them at all....am i right? My DD has a fair old collection of these gained through LAMDA & RAD exams. Shes only 12 so not likely to need them for a while...

Hi
Another option is to buy Gaynor Mindens. Theyre expensive but dont require any darning or stick on pads...very, very smart to look at. I'm told most professional use them nowadays. The downside is you have to look around a bit for stockists....

Hi There
We often use lastminute.com and opt for their secret hotel. You wont know exactly which one it is but its usually fairly easy to guess cos of its nearest tube station. We've never had a bad one. Its also worth trying ebay....some real bargains x

Crikey...that must be incredibly frustrating (never mind expensive!) They aren't necessary in my area as a simple declaration of health signed by a parent is all the council require. But please have a little empathy with GPs too. It might seem expensive but they can be absolutely inundated with requ...

SO pleased its back....just got to convince my DDs how much better it is than X factornow! Mind you ...I've been trying to do that for the last 5 years! Im quite happy with the line up actually. I know people moan that they're all unknowns but i like that...i like to get to know them as the series u...

Hi There I'm no expert on this as both my DDs at comp's but i do have a good friend whose son is at the local grammar. They are very supportive of him attending auditions etc and as the classes are much smaller he gets enough individual attention to quickly catch up.Lots of state schools are stubbor...

Hi Is this agency near any of the troubled riot areas at the moment? I believe its in South Woodford. My geography of the London area is terrible i'm afraid !

Hi Im also interested in anyones knowledge of this company. My girls have been invited to a photoshoot with them at the end of the month which i have provisionally booked. But do they accapt literally everyone? Their online database doesn't look too big, or is this just a small percentage of their b...
