Add that all up and it is a lot of information and plenty of opportunties and people to ask advice of.
I am not at work every day so there may be the odd gap in time, but I do try and blog/tweet every other day at least.
If you want to meet me in person and get some face to face advice - call 01332 591316 and book a session to see me, I am happy to offer information and advice via email too @ d.longridge@derby.ac.uk

Audition for a world premiere - Theatre - Belper News
AUDITIONS are being held later this month in Derby for a world premiére production.
Uncontained Arts (a professional theatre company established in 2008 by former graduates of the University of Derby Theatre Arts course, based at Derby Theatre) and Theatre Works (also based at the theatre) are giving budding actors and artistes the opportunity to be part of a company who will produce and present a brand new musical adaptation of Frank McCourt’s Angela’s Ashes at Derby Theatre in November.
Auditions are being held on July 21-22 , 10am – 5pm in the Kirtley Building, at the University of Derby’s Kedleston site and are open to anyone aged 18-plus from Derbyshire and surrounding counties.
The audition panel is looking for enthusiastic, passionate and committed performers who can sing and act and who are interested in being part of a world premiére of a brand new musical adaptation of a world famous book, and who must be available for rehearsals during August, September and October.
As this is a community project; it is realised that individuals may have other commitments (especially at this time of year) so rehearsals may, to an extent, be scheduled around the company’s availability as a whole.
Previous performance experience is not essential, although it would be an advantage).
Auditionees will be asked to prepare and present a one-minute musical piece during the audition e.g. sing a verse and two choruses of a personally chosen song.
