Re: Youth Theatre... there is hope!
Mon, 16 May 2005, 07:06 pmWow, now if the King of Devil Town bothers to read this post, they will note that people care enough to respond and give advice.
So, I'm not the only do-gooder out there.
For your information, I have my own theatre company, I work part-time for Arts Hub, and I run a free newsletter for theatre people (soon to become a proper zine). The only reason I post encouraging messages is because I found/find it really difficult to make the transition from emerging artist/student to professional.
It is only through luck and perserverance that I have done these things, and have a large amount of experience because I refused to believe anyone when they said it was too hard to work in the industry.
I am well-liked among my colleagues and friends simply because I make the effort to help, and this in turn gets me work.
The people that I have worked with over the years that I have liked working for/with the most, are those people who took the time to teach me little things. From just learning how to fade up a light using a computer program, to teaching me how to make things, and so forth, I have gained a lot of valuable knowledge, that I would never get in a class, course or on my own.
One of the reasons this industry is 'dying out', is because nobody has the time to teach each other anything, and the knowledge never gets passed on to the next generation.
Tegan, there are heaps of theatres that not only run classes for young people, but plenty of theatres focussed on producing shows by young people. Try the ATYP, Australian Theatre for Young People, who I believe have companies listed on their website that involve activities for young people.
