Anyone like a helping hand in Sydney?

This might sound a bit strange, but I'm looking for a theatre company or anything I can do some volunteer work for and just get involved.

Anything from helping out building sets, backstage work, on-hand understudy... anything. I'm fairly experienced with all round theatre sorts of stuff and performing, but have no formal education in it. I work mostly in the evenings so have plenty of spare time on my hands -aside from the two days a week I train in theatre and puppetry.

I've contacted a couple of companys, but there seems to be concerns with liability of injury of volunteers. Hmmm, how on earth are those like myself going to gain any experience in the field then?

If anyone has any suggestions, please, let me know. I need to do more!

My e-mail is: mizapie@hotmail.com

Thanks,
