Having this mantra in mind is what motivates me to act as throughout my whole life acting has been an outlet for my creativity. This has allowed me to empty my heart and soul into characters, whilst allowing my instinctive emotion to form a believable character that is both entertaining and truthful. That for me is the dream. The dream where I can honestly say that I am proud of my own work and what I do contributes to the arts industry.
Choosing GCSE Drama was when I made the conscious decision of pursing the Performing Arts path. Although at the time I picked Drama because it was my favourite lesson, it gave me the fundamental knowledge I needed regarding acting and from this I was able to choose it as a career. Since then, I went on to study Drama and Theatre studies at A level. This has opened me to theatre and its influences, which has brought me to a deeper understanding of the theories and practices of theatre, …show more content…

    606 Words  | 2 Pages

    People have dreams of what they want to do or accomplish in life, but usually musical theatre is just pushed into the non-realistic void. It isn’t a dream for me. In the past four years, musical theatre has been clarified as my reality. Musical theatre has been the only thing I have seen myself wanting to do. My first love was The Phantom of the Opera, seeing how I watched it almost every day and it was one of the first shows I saw. Of course, I started doing all of those cute shows in middle school and making a huge deal about it to my family and friends, but I have never felt so passionate about something. The minute I get up on that stage I throw away Riley for two and a half hours and it’s the most amazing feeling! Being able to tell a story

    771 Words  | 2 Pages

    My journey into theatre was like Alice’s fall down the rabbit hole: slowly then all at once. It started with my attraction to visual storytelling; when reading, words peeled off the page and became images, transforming words into reality. This is not unlike to a designers’ job in theatre, turning plays into tangible spaces, even when they take place in a distant galaxy or down the rabbit hole. Upon visiting New York University’s design department, I saw the student’s work their attention to detail and the impressive still working faculty they had at hand. NYU students also have the advantage of having New York City as their background, an additional resource that allows them to grow as designers.

    I started theater when a friend suggested I audition for the spring musical my freshman year, ever since I have fallen in love. From actor, to crew member, to director, to writer, I have been lucky enough to experience everything throughout my theater career at Wakefield High School.

It teaches you how fake it ‘till you make it, to work together, to be confident, and a plethora of other invaluable skills. For example, sophomore year I was in crew for the festival show.

Just in this semester I’ve been to about ten plays and have learned so much about the art of theatre.

    For thousands of years, people have been arguing that theatre is a dying art form. Many people think theatre is all just cheesy singing and dancing or just boring old Shakespeare, but there is much more to theatre than those two extremes. Theatre is important to our society because it teaches us more about real life than recorded media. Theatre has been around for thousands of years and began as a religious ceremony that evolved into an art form that teaches about the true essence of life.
