Hi, I am a qualified make up artist. I have moved to Australia recently and just before moving here I finished my make up course. Unfortunatley I have no work experience and I have no contacts here. I am very interested in doing work experience in Sydney. Can anyone please tell me how I can get some work experience?

Hi Rebecca,
I suggest you contact all the amateur theatre groups in or near your area and offer your assistance with makeup for their shows.
This is unpaid work, but you will have your name in the programme and if they are very nice, they may let you have a small ad in the programme as well.
Amateur groups are crying out for qualified people to assist with makeup and there are often shows where fantasy makeup or a more complicated makeup is required. So get out there and have a go.
Not sure of what;s in your area? Contact the recreation or culture department of your neasest shire, council offices or visit the library and see if they know.
If you were in Perth, I would snap you up like that! I am doing Narnia and require some specialist help for fantasy makeup myself.
Best of Luck
Chris

ahoj

i´m a 25yo woman from germany. in july 2007 i will finish my education as an make-up artist. bevor that i made an education as a hairdresser, too.

i want to know what chances a german make-up artist has to get a job in australia for 1 year or longer. for me its difficult, because i don´t know anyone in this country who could answer my questions.
i´m intrested in theatre, film, photography. i think, there are a lot of problems to work in australia if you are a stranger....or not?

so...thank you Smiling tanja

English and Cultural Studies - UWA (Perth) presents
Women Beware Women

Howard Barker/Thomas Middleton

Steve Chinna

Theatre students in English and Cultural Studies at UWA present contemporary English playwright Howard Barker’s rewriting of Thomas Middleton’s early-1620s Jacobean revenge tragedy Women Beware Women. Middleton’s play was last performed at UWA in the Octagon Theatre in 1982, directed by the then director-in-residence Timothy West with a cast comprising English Department staff and members of the UWA Grads and student theatre communities. This radical reworking utilises most of the first four acts and language of Middleton’s play in its first half, with a second half comprised of Barker’s mixture of vividly poetic and robust vernacular language that takes the trajectories of the protagonists towards a denouement which leaves most of the characters surviving, but which shatters the ducal state of greed, misogyny, and moral corruption – a denouement which Middleton saw fit to end with a conventional revenge tragedy massacre of his troublesome protagonists. Suitable for audiences 15+.
