Every year thousands of students from Victorian government schools take part in one of the largest performing arts events in Australia – a song and dance extravaganza – the Victorian State Schools Spectacular.
Students benefit from the unique opportunity of working with industry professionals across all disciplines, as well as the amazing experience of performing live at John Cain Arena in front of an audience of thousands and for a television broadcast.
The program helps students develop performance and production skills, resilience, perseverance, cooperation and confidence through months of training in a non-competitive environment. Students and teachers who participate describe the experience as powerful, engaging and, for many, life changing.
In Term 4, we begin looking for talented government school students who can sing, dance, play an instrument, beat box, roller blade or rap, to audition for a role in the principal cast.
We are also looking for students who might be interested in behind-the-scenes roles in audio, lighting, video and camera, stage management, costume making, make-up, photography, and publicity.
Schools are invited to submit an expression of interest to participate in the mass choir, dance or specialty acts.
For more information, please call the Performing Arts Unit on (03) 8683 2700 or visit www.vic.gov.au/victorian-state-schools-spectacular or Facebook page.
Registrations and Expressions of Interest will open in October!
