Is theatre being taken over by youth?
Mon, 17 Sept 2001, 08:45 pmwhat is everyones opinion?
is the youth of the country/world taking over theatre?
more youth companys are being formed, more young people are comming to auditions, more young people are comming to shows.
by youth, i mean 14-19.
should young people stay out of the theatre scene? do they not belong in the theatre, or should people welcome them with open arms??
just something i was thinking about.

On a slightly different angle: I have to say that I'm sick of finding out about grants/prizes/opportunities that are only available to this so-called 'youth'.... In this I include youth productions, government awards, literature awards for young writers etc etc etc ... this is not in any way a comment on the abilities of those who enter the arts at a young age - this is terrific and I understand the need to actively encourage younger people into the arts (if only to fight the aussie sports mentality)... my gripe is simply about the lack of similar encouragement to older 'artistes'.
... What about those of us who believed our parents in our teens when they said the arts were a hobby, did the 'real world' thing in our twenties and have only discovered what we are capable of in our thirties?
Bah humbug:)
*Any responses drawing my attention to a myriad of things I can still apply for would be very welcome:)
