Pyramid Pantomimes - Entertainment Careers Advice for Schools

Entertainment Careers Advice for Schools

Over the past couple of years, we have been asked to visit various schools and give an insight into the world of entertainment as a career path.

Due to extraordinary interest, we have now developed these one hour tutorials into fun and interactive discussion groups, lead by working professionals.

The tutorials include a 45 minute presentation, a Q&A/discussion period and of course a detailed advice handout on the day.

These can be tailored towards specific year groups or accommodate the whole school.

The topics include

Where do I start?
What qualities do I need?
How do I identify the rogue traders?
What should I be prepared to spend money/time on?
What should I not spend money or time on?
Where can I train/study to improve my chances?
How can I showcase my talent?
Useful tools
Useful publications
How can I earn money while I am training/ perfecting my art?

We have a range of various tutorials to choose from:

General Entertainment: Giving an insight into the industry as a whole, guiding students away from the general pitfalls and helping them evaluate and choose which entertainment career path (if any) would suit them best.

The Music Industry: This is designed for individuals planning a career as a singer, commercial dancer, producer/songwriter or music manager.

Dancing: This tutorial covers all different types of dance from ballet through to Jazz and commercial dance. This is not a 'dance lesson' as such; it deals more with the business side of the industry enabling a talented individual to progress into a full-time career.

Acting: This is designed to guide individuals who have a keen interest in drama, on to the next level, i.e. how to make the transition from an interest into a career. Covering topics such as Drama Schools, Agents, publicity photographs, and showcasing.

Modelling: This is geared primarily for people looking to break into the competitive world of modelling. This career can be very lucrative, but also be full of pitfalls and con artists looking to profit from people's dreams. Covering topics such as Agents, Photographers, types of modelling, contracts, release forms, and buyouts.

Presenting: Covering both radio and TV presenting this tutorial looks at training, ideal further learning, agents, showreels and again unfortunately 'Rogue Traders'.
