At Performers in second year they split between Dance Theatre & Musical Theatre; MT do more acting & Singing, DT do less but still have classes DD loves it - the end of year show was great & even DD as a first year was 'noticed' at the end of year show - She danced at Wembly last year an...

She is totally loving it We had a hiccup & temporary accommodation fro a couple of months because she had an allergy to the landladies dog - but she moves back to her 'home' down there at the end of term only 2 weeks or so!! She has an afro - I think she was in a 3 part piece choreographed by Ke...

This came up on my feed today - don't know if it's any use

Look at all the forms work out how many poses & get them all done at once - plain as possible background

I wouldn't apply until Dec as the auditions often come through quite fast

We did all ours later the second year as we were advised to by the pre-voc people (to get the most benefit from the extra training)

It's not going to help you much Robin, & I am sorry this is too late to be relevant We did most of our open days the year before we auditioned as some were in the summer. By this time, most of our applications were written (or at least outlined on last years form ready to be transferred when the...

Tiffany's have an open day, Hammond & Millennium, do too & I think Performers do as well

I think we did courses at Urdang, Bodyworks & Stella Mann to get a look round

I was not impressed - it seems very at odds with the hard work I know DD & her colleagues put in

Plus they were so childish and petty and, well, nasty to each other

That's a good point - if they are being paid (or gaining value) she should be paid (or gain value)

EG a shoot for shoes & she got a pair of shoes, accessories photo shoot = a hat, earrings and a scarf

That seems fair to me - it isn't all about money - but neither is it free

DD does modelling, singing, dancing Generally for charity she donates her time, for students she does 'one freebie' and after that asks for costs (fare/food etc) But when it's for profit? Does she say, "Sorry I get paid for that sort of thing now" is there a better way to phrase it? Maybe ...

& let's be honest after 10 years or so (maximum) they are likely to settle down, do further training & get a real job When my parents were young they thought jobs were for life, they were wrong about that - from the 60's onwards people changed jobs all the time When I was at uni we thought c...
