The excitement, the energy and the attitude
This includes arts like drama, dance, live art, mime and
puppetry. You may also consider a career behind the scenes
in areas like arts management, theatre, set and stage design
and costume design.
How tough is it in the performing
arts?
What work is there?
In drama you could work in commercial theatre, fringe theatre
and children's theatre. And of course there is film, television
and radio work. To act in theatre or television it's virtually
essential to belong to Equity, the actor's union. Membership
of Equity can only be gained once actors and stage managers
acquire the required number of professional contracts. Those
who have completed a recognised course at drama school tend
to be in a more favourable position.
What about other careers in the
theatre?
And how about a career in dance?
