Hi all!! Firstly, of course the people in here make a big fuss over nothing - the spelling mistake(s) saga I mean - they are into "drama"!!!! Ad, congrats on getting into WAAPA - well done! Hope you enjoy it there! (I felt rather sorry for how your spelling was fussed over!) My parents were so incredibly pedantic about grammar and spelling and all - you would think the world turned on it!! Fortunately, I did well at English from it all - (my biological dad was a journalist, mother a secretary and had fantastic english, and my step-dad was my English teacher at school and recited "The Highway Man" for us at home - just for fun - we had spelling competitions at the family dinner table as well as harmony singing sessions!!) I love musical theatre!! I studied BA(Music) at QUT - Kelvin Grove in Qld and loved it. I wanted to study drama at uni also but didn't audition for some reason and did an English minor instead. I've been learning dance since I left uni - ballet, tap, and such - flamenco is really my forte. I love to sing and act and be a complete idiot just for fun!! Been in amateur musical theatre groups - jolly fun and good for experience. I think getting into a musical theatre course full time would be amazing!! I totally love MGM musicals and the like - growing up on them, and used to dance with my folks in the loungeroom - learning to do Pride of Erin, and to jive along with listening to heaps of 50s and 60s music which I grew to love - so energetic!! Anyhow - I talk stacks!! (especially when excited!) Very happy to meet everyone and have the privilege of chatting with you all on such a great topic - MUSICAL THEATRE and DRAMA!!
