MT Audition Course - help

Well, I'm in the course not because I necessarily want the degree, but I do want the training. The BA is just part of it - and will make things easier down the track if I do want to explore other careers such as teaching. Nadia, who's in Phantom, is a brilliantly talented and hard-working girl. She has the advantage over many of us that her mother is also a very successful dancer who runs her own school in Adelaide. I would speculate that she'd therefore not had to scrimp and save for a lot of her training, and that she's been lucky enough to benefit from her mother's connections. This is not a bad thing, by any means, she is still a great performer, but for those of us who don't have those advantages things are a bit different. Also, a three-year contract in Phantom is wonderful, but no more a guarantee of future work, or an indication of what else she may be capable of. By no means do I think that a uni degree is the only way to success, as I said, there are no guarantees in this industry. But a BA is definitely not a waste of time, and in order to achieve that qualification, you must prove yourself in many different aspects of performance and academia. Try everything. All education and all experience will be of value.
