dramascientist Posted January 24, 2014 Share Posted January 24, 2014 Sixth form! She used to be all about the ballet but recently she has tended more towrds MT so she is attracted to The Hammond because of their common first year for both MT and dance.

Jaylou62 Posted January 24, 2014 Share Posted January 24, 2014 Good luck to your dd dramascientist. Dd2 enjoyed her Northern Ballet audition and Dd1 her Blackpool audition on Wednesday. Just have to wait now. Off to London tomorrow for ENBS audition with Dd2 (good luck to everyone auditioning tomorrow) and then meeting Dd1 in London and travelling to Liverpool for Dd1 as she has LIPA (Liverpool Institute for Performing Arts) on Sunday! Dd2 catching train home alone. I'll be glad when this week is over....on the plus side the girls seem happier and less stressed 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dramascientist Posted January 24, 2014 Share Posted January 24, 2014 Wow Jaylou62 how are you coping with two of them! Good luck to both for their remaining auditions and fingers crossed that you get good news from the ones already done. Phew what a rollercoaster!

Jaylou62 Posted January 24, 2014 Share Posted January 24, 2014 Ha - it's a nightmare! Just cancelled 3 shifts at work so I can take Dd1 to Scotland and Guildford (both dds don't want their dad to take them as he makes them more stressed!). At least after tomorrow dd2 only has Rambert to go - dd1 still has 3! Thank goodness for this forum 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wow seems hefty to ask for such a deposit when you dont even know if you will secure funding! How on earth are you going to way up that decision? Good luck!

kiwimum6 Posted February 1, 2014 Share Posted February 1, 2014 Sadly, it was not the news he was hoping for:) Never mind...

Fiz Posted February 1, 2014 Share Posted February 1, 2014 I am very sorry. My daughter has been knocked back by two drama schools in the past two months but is still determined to become an actor. It is so hard for children in the arts even to gain a foothold on the professional path now. Hugs to all those trying. x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ellie Posted February 1, 2014 Share Posted February 1, 2014 I can imagine that it's heartbreaking to get the 'no's', but don't let your DC's get disillusioned (please !). I believe that nowadays there is enough excellent non vocational (or full time) training available to enable them to prepare for a career in dance or drama. Hang on and don't lose hope, X 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kiwimum6 Posted February 2, 2014 Share Posted February 2, 2014 After 7 years full time training... Mostly in dance... It is time for him to get out there in the big wide world and find a job. Could be exciting times ahead 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
