Posted: When I grow up, well next year I want to get into NICA (National Institute of Circus Arts) I was hoping that at least one person on this board goes there, Anyways, what does the audition entail? I heard that part of it is, hold a handstand for 30 seconds, juggle with at least 4 balls and be able to climb up and down a ladder no legs. prefrence to special skills and gymnasts and dancers. What else?
A wise man once said to me, Hey! You! Get out of my wardrobe! and in a way, I guess he was right.

Posted: well.... you are the first person i have met who has ever heard of nica! anyway, i went there for just a week long course and learnt heaps of cool stuff. (if you look on page six of the autumn 2002 newsletter you can see me doing acrobatics!)im aiming to get there after year twelve too. i have a list of audition requirements somewhere, ill have a look around for you but in the meantime you could go to www.nica.swin.edu.au and see what you can find. from what i can remember you have to do a 20 second press handstand, three way splits and some manipulation (juggling). I'll let you know if i find my stuff, let me know how you're going!
