Hi there, my name is Dean Kaplan and I have currently finished year 12. I am 18 years old and love all technical elements of theatre, film and tv. I was writing to anyone that can help me. I was turned down by TAFE for the film and television course, applied for Lighting at WAAPA and have not found out yet either way.

So I was writing to anyone out there that can help me. I am interested in almost everything in the TECHNICAL Arts. I am currently looking for a course, to cater for Production Design. I have many talents, and therefore narrowed it down (if you want to called it Narrowed) to Production Design. I dont know what is best for me, but know that I want to get into the Entertainment Industry.

CIRQUE DU SOLEIL, captures my heart. I get the most unbelievable RUSH when watching it. I have so many ideas for stories, productions etc...that I dont know how or where I could get qualifications and the experience to get started.
Companies like Cirque Du Soleil, have job openings but the only thing needed is EXPERIENCE and some qualifications. So I need to know from someone, how I get that experience (obviously in pro-am productions i have been involved) but where can I study to get a qualification in being CREATIVE, for film, tv, and theatre.

So if someone can help me, I would really appreciate it.
Thank you.
DEAN

The Servant of Two Masters


Written by Carlos Goldini. Re-Written by Nick Enright and Ron Blair.

Carla Moore

Goldoni is made grouse in this colourful and riotous comic masterpiece. Truffaldino doesn’t really think through the problems inherent in having two bosses – especially when they’re unaware of each other’s presence and desperate to get back into each other’s pants. Our hero reckons he’s found a way of increasing his coin and food income on his labour. Or, as he puts it: “two masters, two wages, two dinners – too right!”
