Tried Theatres...

Today I have phoned some theatres in the North West to see if they would be interested in taking on students for Work Experience:

Blackpool Grand Theatre- arent excepting applications at this time.

Thornton Little Theatre- I have sent them a email and am waiting on a reply.

Palace Theatre- I rung and they said that there is no placements in the areas which I am after and they dont usually take on students for work experience.

Royal Exchange Theatre- I need to apply in writing to Barry James.

Appollo- I rung and they are far to busy take on students at this time.

The Lowry- I have sent them a email and am awaiting there response.

For DISNEY I have recieved money from my Dad and boyfriend as contributions for the flight but still need more for Insurance, Visa and initial rent. I just need to fill out the application form for possible funding from a Merseyside funding company called "The Holt Education Trust" this needs to be done by March 17th 2010. I want to get this complate and sent off by the end of the week.

Work Placement Progress....

SMD has said that they dont have space for a extra person as the last student they have taken on was kept on as she was so good. I have been informed by John that he could possibly have a job within the Octagon Theatre BOLTON.

I didnt quite realise how frustrating job hunting for design could be.

I have learnt alot although I dont have the placement organised. I know that when I finally leave and want a job after University its going to be alot tougher than what I expected.

Hopefully John will help me get the Octagon Theatre job as this was orginally the kind of placement I was after to help me with skills for DISNEY.

Keep your fingers crossed please everyone...........

Where I am up to on the Work Placement Search....

I have been to a meeting with John Hunter (Placement Officer) and he is going to meet SMD on Thursday 4th February 2010 for a possible PAID!!!Work Placement. This will be the solution for the flight to DISNEY and also help me with experience for my Work Placement Module.

Also I have been to my local libraries to see about possible funding for my FLIGHT just incase I dont get a PAID work placement. I have had a positive response from a Liverpool based organisation who help students from MERSEYSIDE. Just waiting for the application form to come through so FINGERS CROSSED EVERYONE!!!!

Also may have got a job in PAD gallery PRESTON to help out there........
