Children in theatre
A year or so ago I interviewed Jo Hawes for the Training page in The Stage about her very successful new (then) masterclasses for children wanting to audition for professional shows. Jo, whom I’ve known for some time, is probably the UK’s best known children’s casting director and administrator having been in this aspect of the business for 17 years on West End shows such as Oliver!, Shrek the Musical, Chitty Chitty Bang Bang and The Sound of Music. Originally a LAMDA-trained stage manager she has worked with many hundreds of children and their parents and has a huge amount of expertise.
Do you want to learn the craft in an actor training company?
Here’s something different. Could this modus operandi possibly evolve into the way forward in these cash strapped times?
Fingers crossed for Redbridge Drama Centre
Redbridge is not a sexy borough. It has neither the deprived-so-we-must-help image of, say Tower Hamlets, nor the prosperous middle class ambience of, for example, Bromley. And my perception is that because of this it tends, rather unfairly, to get overlooked or overshadowed by more clamorous London boroughs.
