Aspiring Director looking for a break

Hey everyone. My name is Brenda and I'm a theatre lover. I'm a media student at Macquarie University and I would just love an opportunity to be able to direct or put together a stage show. I was just looking to see if someone would give me a chance to work behind the scenes for a play, whether it's directing, wardorbe, technical or anything at all. It doesn't necessarily have to be paid work, I just want somebody who'll take me on and show me the ropes. If anyone could give me any advice on how and where to start, I'd be most grateful. Thank you.
