Bad luck all the guys who didn't make Waapa and congrats to those who did

I'm trying next year but if I'm not lucky enough .... please list all the alternative performing arts courses that you rate Australia wide

I've done year 12 drama this year (year 11) and I have a good mark and hopefully when I do my 4 remaining subjects next year I'll have a good score.overall.. this doesn't help with audition based courses though does it

I know this is a big ask but any information about courses you or friends have done would be a big help

Thanks

I have to mention, I did the course at Swinburne, which is why I suggested the TAFE courses - the reason for this suggestion is that they often take school leavers, and are a good opportunity to not only learn, but take a step towards NICA/WAAPA/VCA. Many students from these smaller courses go on to do courses at NICA.

While I agree with all the comments made here, don't forget the little known courses. If you do want to do a course straight away, this is a perfect opportunity to do so. If not, keep on doing the fringe/amateur/volunteer thing until either you do get accepted at one of the courses, or until you can make a career out of it...

Check these little known courses out, because they can provide as much experience as doing the shows!
