Mon, 21 Feb 2005, 05:22 pmBAPA is now known as the University of Ballarat Arts Academy but still offers the same Bachelor of Arts in Performing Arts (Music Theatre Performance) course as it used to.
Previous graduates have gone on to professional shows such as We Will Rock You, Mamma Mia and Oliver.
Be advised though that the University has cut their production course which previously supported the student shows in terms of lighting, sound, sets, costumes, props etc. This may or may not be a good or bad thing as the University is now contracting "professional" production people in to work on the shows, but you only get that kind of production elements in your third year.
Up until your third year each class does its own production. And the class sizes have risen from 20 students at the initial first year intake to 30!
Also if you are not looking into starting this year, as it is the start of O Week today, the school offers a "work experience" type of program which means you can come and follow around the students for a few hours, a few days or a few weeks if you want to and find out what it's really like.
This year starts off with a major musical production of Sweet Charity at Her Majesty's Theatre in Ballarat from March 4 -12.
Chookas!
