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.

Fri, 21 Sept 2001, 12:30 amI think Alison has a point there - I remember many a times being told or observing that shows had a 'high school' feel to it or it was 'high school' acting!
Puberty certainly does funny things to us. I'm thinking TEENAGE ANGST here.
In any case, its a simple, logical and practical reason for that.
LIFE EXPERIENCE.
Its the same reason why tutors at NIDA/WAAPA/VCA tell you to keep auditioning, but don't expect to be even considered until you're at least 21 (generalising here but you get my point).
At the same time - its fantastic that more youth theatre is emerging because it will aid us young actors to develop our acting skills faster. At the same time, mingling with new and strange people (pre and post cast party *smirk*) will give us a few extra notches on the LIFE experience scale.
Youth Theatre? @!#$ yeah!
