This time for a short film she wrote, co directed, produced and starred in. Couldn’t be prouder of her. Please help her meet her goal before it ends on 11 June. Every bit helps and there even a chance to get credited on the film. So please share and support her on this incredible venture.

Wonderful to be a special guest with my daughter Jessica Orcsik for Tom Elphick's Gala last night! So wonderful to see yet again how amazing the dance community can be when someone needs support! In a moment your life can change and it was inspiriting to watch the arts community support one of their own in a time of need. Please show your support https://www.mycause.com.au/page/107549/tom-elphick-recovery www.tomsgala.com

In May this year Tom was well on his way to the fruition of many years of dedication and sacrifice in the pursuit of a career as a dancer. He was a selected pre-professional contemporary dance student

Over the next 5 years of your career how likely do you think you will be able to get into a room to meet an LA casting director of Rick Millikan’s caliber? This is an opportunity that won’t come again and one not to be treated lightly!

It’s not a question of whether or not you might think you will be cast for something – no matter what workshop you do with any casting director the same thing applies and it doesn’t matter whether it’s a casting director from Australia, US or UK, if they’re casting a show or not casting a show - they are continually on the look out for people.

Remember that if you are not in it you can’t win it! And if you are not seen you will never get cast.

My fellow actors I urge you to get to this. Please like and share to all Australian actors.

Melbourne SOLD OUT – waiting list only!!!
Adelaide LIMITED SPOTS
