Would like some information about WAAPA, posting from Brasil

Hi, Im from Brasil and Im very interested in the Advanced Diploma of Live Production, Theatre and Events (Costume) WAAPA course. Im very far though and its very hard to obtain information.I saw that a lot of people here are from Perh or study at WAAPA and I was wondering if someone can help me. Here are my questions: - Can anybody tell me how are the admision tests for this course?I read in the site there's a interview and youve to present a portfolio but I woul like to know more details. Thats my biggest concern cause it seems to me the admision prcess is very different from here and Im soo far to afford more than one try... -Is it possible to work while making the course?Cause I feel like Im gonna need some money. -Somebody now how many people are in the class?How many are admitted a year for the course? Thank you very much for any help!!Hope I can study in Australia,Ive only know great people from your country

I have just compeleted the costume course at WAAPA, and what BC wrote is correct. You are required to be at uni- pretty much 9 to 6pm everyday. When productions are on, you can expect to be at uni 9 to 11pm (and even later depending what time the laundry is done, what projects are due). Working can be difficult- because of the full-on schedule- but as long as your workplace is flexible- you'll be able to work some nights and on the weekends... an interview is required where the panel will ask your sewing experience and have a look at a folio. an advanced sewing knowledge is not required- as long as you have a passion for costume and enthusiasm. i did not have a lot of sewing experience whatsoever. the costume course is absolutely fantastic. expect to put in hard yards and you'll get plenty of waapa love in return! :)
