My main passion is Musical Theatre; I live and breathe it. I guess my reason for this is not only my love of drama but also my love of dance and singing too, even if I can’t sing very well! My favourite musicals would have to be ‘Wicked’ or ‘Billy Elliot’. I’m also very interested in what happens backstage and how a piece of theatre comes together, from all things technical and beyond.
Having been interested in drama for a while, and having a love for ballet, I have been fortunate enough to feature and partake in many productions. One of my favourite performances was a play called ‘Mine’ by Polly Teale in which I got to explore and develop a character called Rose. I love a play which takes a real life problem and explores issues that happen around us on a daily basis. I’ve also had experiences with backstage roles, for example I’ve been on the marketing team for Much Ado about Nothing, in Shakespeare week, at Lincoln Performing Arts Centre.
Adulthood as a theme for our performance really excites me. I’m really interested in getting people’s opinions on what constitutes to be an adult, whether it’s the law, society, yourself or any other view that others have. I feel there are various life situations and roles which help you to grow up such as being the older sibling and university.
