My love for theatre and cinema has been since infancy and I know that this will be life-long. Musical theatre, especially, is a big part of my life as I spend a great deal of time (and money that I don’t have) on West End shows. Having played the piano since six years old, I cannot wait to try my hand at writing original songs to fit into our devised theatre performance. I have always loved how music can teach you, tell a story, and bring people together. I’m a big believer in story-telling.
My three years at university have given me many fantastic opportunities: my personal favourites being writing my own script, which I hope one day to take to the Edinburgh Fringe Festival and playing Beatrice in Much Ado about Nothing. I don’t know what the future holds but so long as writing, music and performing play a part, I will be happy.
Since I was small, it has been an intriguing question for me to think what makes someone an adult. What makes a person no longer a child? Is it simply age? Or more a question of maturity? For me, keeping the child within alive is a perfect escape from all the troubles of being a “grown up”. I believe it is good to find a happy medium: love Disney, live alone. Room full of teddies, drive a car.
