Performing Arts/Drama/Acting/etc Applicants 2012

Scroll to see replies

Anyone going to the UCAS - Compose Your Future exhibition in Manchester on October 17th? It's going to be attended by loads of performing arts/creative arts institutions, so I'm going. Extending my choices slightly just in case, so I'm now considering -

Glyndwr - Theatre, Television and Performance
MMU - Acting
BSA - Acting or Community & Applied Theatre
LIPA - Acting or Community Drama
Swansea Met - Drama and Psychology
Coleg Y Drindod Dewi Sant Camarthen - Acting.

I looked at RWCMD, but they charge £45 to audition, plus the £15 to join UKCAS :frown:

Anyone know the best course of action to take if I wanted to do an Acting Degree which involved lots of singing, without actually doing Musical Theatre?

i think an acting degree (depending on where you go) will include elements of voice anyway, however you can always try and look into a joint BA Hons if applicable anywhere :smile:

Hello! I remember last year you also applied for Drama Centre film directing? How far did you get? Also, are you reapplying?

I got as far as the last interview, but then got rejected. :frown:

But am reapplying this year. :biggrin:

Not sure if I am going to reapply yet, I am having trouble deciding on the route I want to go down

I'm applying for uni to do philosophy, but also applying to 1 drama school this year just for the experience, before hoping to do apply for a postgraduate course after I've graduated from uni. I was going to wait and just apply after I've finished uni but have been persuaded by teachers/directors etc to apply for the one this year to get more prepared. So I'm applying to Mountview for BA Acting :smile:

I actually met one of the audition panel when I did a show where he was musical director last year and he took my name and said he "looks forward to seeing me". Fingers crossed he still remembers who I am :wink:

I am applying for:
Drama Centre - Directing
Uni of Birmingham - Drama and Theatre Arts
Rose Bruford- American Theatre Arts
Cambridge - Education with English and Drama
BSA- Community and Applied Theatre (Not UCAS)

and still need to apply to Acting courses outside of UCAS and also need to fill that last place with something.

Applying for (BA) Acting and Contemporary Theatreto East 15, LAMDA, Central St Martin's Drama Centre, RADA, Rose Bruford, LIPA etc etc. Hope to see you down the auditions people.. good luck (: xxx

will you drop out of kcl if you get accepted into drama school?

Are you guys using contrasting speeches this year???

I am thinking of doing 'I heard myself proclaimed' the Edgar speech this year and my contemp speech...but my contemp doesnt contrast with the classical one...Do you think it will lessen my chances at auditions and I dont want to come across as being one dimensional at the auditions..

Last year I did use contrasting speeches..
