Oh Boy... go lion king!
No, seriously. Laura, you've got some great advice from all these people. So here's my info. Just so you know (you probably do but anyways).
For MT there are are 2 courses I know of. The BA (Bachelor of the Arts) and the Certificate II.
The BA is three years, 40 (?) hours a week and WAAPA auditions about 250 a year for this course. Lots of intensive stuff, character searching and hooking into your emotions.
The Cert. II is one year, three nights a week and about half as many audition a year. Alot of people consider this as a semi-introduction to the BA.
What Marcus said way back in that post has credit. So many people see WAAPA as the end all of PA. Not everyone but some people do.
In PA it really does help to have workshops, experience, lessons and all that stuff under your belt. It also helps to have that unnamed passion...
What else... auditions for the two courses happen around November (a hard time because of exams if you're a student). I know one girl who had her audition during her leavers. But you can ask them in the application and they can take it into account.
Umm, and I know even though both courses have dance incorporated into them the BA has a very extensive dance audition (a whole lesson) and the Cert. II has... er, either no dance audition or an audition to a lesser extent. But don't take that to the god honest truth. I just went to a careers expo for uni's and I got this info from the head of MT at WAAPA... so there you go!
Hope I could be some help.
