Personal statement

1		I would like to study drama to enhance my acting ability. I want to be an influential person
2		in history one day. I can not see myself doing anything else in life.
3
4		Drama as a whole interests me, but I particularly like being on stage especially in theatre,
5		knowing that I am telling a story to people I have not met before and they are believing it
6		really uplifts me. In addition to this, I am also interested in the film and television side
7		of drama behind and in front of the camera. I am really attentive about knowing how it works
8		and I will like to have more insight about this difference acting techniques used between
9		theatre and TV.
10
11		I have been acting since the age of 7 going to a variety of drama clubs. But since joining my
12		agency I have been taking Acting extremely serious and want this to be one of my careers in
13		the future. In 2016 I was chosen to be a part of a short film called Rhonna and Donna which
14		won best comedy award at woods hole and audience choice award at blue stocking film festival
15		in LA. Since being at college I have taken every opportunity that has been given to me. In
16		November 2017 my class performed at the shaw theatre with a company called Shakespeare schools
17		festival. I also did a course with Bush Theatre where we mixed virtual reality with theatre
18		while also connecting with a group on the other side of London (East London). In addition to
19		this, I joined the Camden Youth theatre where we doing games and small workshops. In February
20		2018 I Joined the Taylored Management agency. In summer I did a wide range of courses to
21		strengthen my skills. I did a course called space to create with national youth theatre where

23		Southbank. Lastly, I did a one week course at UAL (Drama centre) which was an insight of drama
24		school giving us tools and skills that we will need to become actors. Continuing my work with

Pros and Cons of higher education

Pros and cons of higher education
Pros
By going into higher education you develop and enhance your skills as you do as you go through education. One of the key skills that you should come out with when you leave Higher Education is Time Management; especially if you are balancing a personal life, HE life and part-time work. Time Management is key and these skills should have developed from secondary school all the way to Higher Education.While getting your degree you will put these skills into practice and after graduating you can use these skills in further employment. Time management is slightly different between university and drama school but it is still the same principals.For example knowing how to set a timetable, meet deadlines as well as staying healthy.



Another Pro of attending Higher education is that it increases your earning potential as you may get some workplaces which won't accept your application if you don’t have a degree. I had a brief interview with Michelle Duberry who previously worked at Google headquarters. She mentioned that “You won't be able to get a job at Google unless you have a degree, your degree could be in fashion and you could get hired to be an engineer manager as long as you have one you past the first stage.” But I dont believe this is the case anymore as after researching I came across the glass-door website where they mentioned on August 14th 2018 that workplaces such as Google and Bank Of America “ do not require a college diploma for some of their top jobs.” This makes me question people who dream to work in these type of business won’t bother to go to higher education to get a degree because now it is no longer a necessity.



One major factor to going to higher education is to network; meet new friends especially people who want to work in the same field as you. There are a few stories about actors who went to drama school or even university together. For example, Lupita Nyong’o and Winston Duke who both starred in Black Panther, they both attending Yale drama university together. In fact, Lupita Nyong’o showed Winston Duke around the Yale campus and both watched a Marvel film together, not knowing they would star in the next one together. Another example of this is Taraji P. Henson and Anthony Anderson both attended Howard University together even though they have only been in one film together which was hustle and flow in 2005 they are quite familiar with each other work. Even if you might not be the next Hollywood stars together in a marvel. Working with each other for 3-4 years you begin to understand each other weaknesses and strengths even though you have to work with each other professionally you may begin to make true friendships with people who you would like to work with in the future this might be creating your own work such as film and theatre scripts or creating a drama company together.



One of the vital experiences by going to higher education is gaining experience by living by yourself. If you didn't go to any kind of boarding school attending higher education might be the first actual experience with living by yourself. This may be very daunting at first but this will become handy when you leave higher education as now you will have key skills when moving out on your own. This links in with time management after you going to your lecture your responsible to do your work in your own time. On the other hand drama schools in London are not residential so you would have to live at home or if you live really far from the drama school you attend to then you would have to find accommodation for yourself. Which means you might consider getting a job to pay for where your living.



Lastly, a pro to going to higher education is getting a degree at the end of it. This is quite obvious but this is a major achievement in life especially knowing that all that hard work has not gone to waste and you have finally graduated. Only accredited drama schools such as Mountview and Italia Conti you will get a degree but then it’s up to your personal opinion whether you would like to get a degree out of the end of your training or you only want to attend drama school for the learning.




On the other hand of the argument higher education is very expensive with  Britain being number nine in the ranking of “The 11 most expensive countries for a university education” On an average tuition is £9,000 per year, this could be higher or lower depending on what course you do and what institution you go to. But this debt can be very off-putting to some people as they may not want to attend higher education because of this. Yes, there are finicial aid’s and scholarships to help people to not be discouraged but like many things, there is a huge amount of requirements. For example, “open door” which is a “ non-profit organisation that helps talented young people who do not have the financial support or resources to gain a place at one of the UK’s leading drama schools.” One of there requirements is that you have to be 18-25. This seems a bit odd as you generally you apply to drama school when you are 17 turning 18; unless you took a gap year or stayed an extra year at college or sixth form. So I would not be able to get to apply to open door because of this. Other financial aids and scholarships are not accessible with people whose parents earn above a certain salary even though higher education tuition is still a lot.



A large number of actors did not attend any type of higher education and still became successful. According to IMDB famous actors such as Tom Cruise who is known for films such as mission impossible and rain didn't attend drama school his first appearance was a bit part in the 1981 film Endless Love. This was then followed by a major supporting role in the film taps. 15 years later he starred in the film mission imposssible which he produced. Cameron Diaz is another actor known for charlie’s angels and Shrek, did not go to a drama school. in fact Cameron Diaz did start her career in the same field as Diaz signed a modelling contract with Elite Model Management at age 16 and appeared in advertisements for Calvin Klein and Levi's. When she was 21 Diaz auditioned for the jazz singer but got the lead role instead after being cast she started to take acting classes immediately. Some people do believe quite strongly that attending drama school is a waste of time for example Paul Roseby told a “told a conference that most actors wouldn't benefit from three years of vocational training and would be better served with more focus on how to sell themselves in the industry.” He recommends that you train every once in a while and three years training is pointless. He goes on by saying “You don't need to learn how to act, you need to learn how to sell yourself. You can either act or you can't." This was quite hard-hitting for people as they believe that acting just like riding a bike can be taught, with practice you can get better and if you dont practice it you will lose the skill.
To conclude I do believe drama school is essential to receive the fundamentals skills to become a great actor. You can imagine it in a way as if your acting career is a wall that needs painting and drama school is a toolbox of different brushes after the 3-4 years you can decide with brushes you need and dont need. But you would have never known the right ones for you if you dont attend drama school. As there is only so much you can learn on set.

What is the future of theatre within the context of new technologies

What is the future of theatre within the context of new technologies?

Technology affects everything films, music and books but what if the aspects of theatre where you sit down and watch a play, only using your eyes to visualise and interpret the story drastically change.

Virtual Reality

Elements of virtual reality have been around since the 1860s (,"How did virtual reality begin?". Virtual Reality Society.)  but only recently it has become extremely popular. Practitioners such as Brecht never wanted people to just “attend” the theatre watch a play and leave, he despised the idea of naturalistic theatre, which greatly ties in with virtual reality. I have had the privilege of incorporating virtual reality and live theatre, which at the start we told the audience to watch a clip through their phones which was used virtual reality after this we performed our live theatre. I think they really enjoyed this new aspect of theatre, especially how it’s nothing they have seen before. They began to ask us how the process was for us because the normal procedure for theatre work is auditions, rehearsals, tech and then performance. But ours was slightly different as it was rehearsals for the virtual reality performance than performance. Rehearsals for the live performance than performance again. What if virtual reality was included in all performances,? What if people sat down and watched a whole theatre performance with virtual reality goggles on. I believe this can have a positive and negative aspect. The positive side may include that people who are not able to fully experience reality, could explore the Virtual World and still experience a full life. Another positivity may be that virtual reality gives a chance to experience things that are impossible in real life as if you were actually there, for example, fighting zombies or standing in a war field. On the other hand, a negative factor could be that the price of watching a theatre show could increase because of the new use of virtual reality, which means that some people will no longer be able to attend the theatre. In addition to this the fast-paced development of Virtual Reality, there is a lack of laws regarding these worlds. People can say and do things in these worlds that are illegal in reality. Lastly many people may become over-addicted to living in these virtual worlds, and as a result, forget or neglect their responsibilities in real life. (Brown, January 4th 2019)  In conclusion, I do think that virtual reality would be a great way to move theatre into the future even though the negative aspects could be drastic. I still think that this is a great way to put together technology and theatre.

Use of mobile phones in the theatre

Traditionally mobile phones have been an absolute no-no in the world of theatre. People see the theatre as a place where you step out of reality and be in the world of the play. But what will happen if mobile phones could be added to enhance performances? I have watched a performance which was called the believers are but brothers at the Bush theatre (Alipoor, 13th January 2019)   where we were all added to a WhatsApp group chat and we were told to put our notifications on loud in which we were able to text and the actor on the stage was telling us 3 stories and parts of the story he himself wrote in the group. This also has positive and negative factors. The positivity may be that we are connecting what we use in our everyday life with something that can be seen as a luxury to some people. In addition to this because of people concentration span is getting less this may help with how people can watch a show without getting bored and frustrated with unable to stay focus. On the other hand a negative side could be that people lose the spark of a theatre performance they will no longer be focusing on enjoying the show they will be looking at their phones instead, because they told us to turn our notifications on people who get a large number of notifications their phone will be making a large amount of noise which may be irritating to the other audience member and could also put off the actor when he is telling the story. Lastly, a negative aspect that you have to consider when putting together mobile phones and theatre, is that what if some of the audience members don’t have a mobile phone that is not compatible with WhatsApp or an app that you are trying to connect them with or they don’t have a mobile phone at all. This means that they will not be able to be involved and they might feel that they are not enjoying the performance and much as they could be. So how does the production team make the show so that people who can’t or don’t want to use their phones can still feel that they are involved? In conclusion, mobile phones should not be used in the theatre only because I think it takes away from the joy of sitting back watching a performance and not worrying about anything for roughly an hour. If all performances suddenly started using mobile phones then it wouldn’t be surprising if the actors found that they had to start fighting to get the audience’s attention this could lose the flavour of a good performance.

Headphones in the theatre

The purpose of headphone is to concentrate a quiet and private sound in the ear of the listener. A lot of people associate headphones with having alone time and being isolated, which is a total contrast to why people go to the theatre, people generally go to the theatre to enjoy entertainment while spending time with people even though silence is necessary when watching a play except for pantomimes and musicals. But what if every time you sat down in the theatre they were headphones in which you listened to the actors. In 2016 I watched a show in the Barbican called the encounter (Barbican, 13 January 2019) whereas we sat “down there were headphones provided in which we watch a one-man show where he talked about a travel story to the rainforest. The binaural technology was extremely effective especially when an aeroplane goes overhead. You can hear the roar moves across the space above you, and when the actor whispered into the microphone on stage it sounded, as he was only 2cm away from you. This binaural technology does have positives and negatives as well as anything else. The positive factors include sound quality of headphones, when going to the theatre the back seats are usually not as good as the front seats but with using headphones during performances everyone sound quality will be the exactly the same. Another positive element would be that there will be no distractions from other audience members while you're in the theatre as the headphones will make you feel like your by yourself listening to this story. On the other hand, negative factors may include that this new technology will hinder people with hearing impairments, for example, people with hearing aids or deaf. This is not practical for the near future because if all theatres started having binaural technology this means that they will no longer be able to go to the theatre. Another negativity will be health and safety of using headphones, depending on the headphones that will be used the ones that are directly inserted into your ear canal could increase your chances of hearing the loss in addition to this, apart from the fact that the theatre should be changing the headphones after each show. There might be an increase of bacterial infections from people sharing headphones especially inner ear. Another positive aspect is the Language barrier, a wide range people with a wide range of languages can enjoy the same piece of theatre without being annoyed that they can’t join it as much because they don’t know the language. This does have a negative side effect because they would need to get a wide range of language stored into the database but what a person comes to the theatre but they don’t have their language stored. Lastly how many languages will be stored? And how much will this cost? In conclusion, I don’t think binaural technology will be effective in the future because after my research it seems that there are more disadvantages that advantage of dealing with headphones and theatre.

Holograms

Holography goes back all the way to 1947 when a British (native of Hungary) scientist Dennis Gabor. A hologram is a physical structure that refracts light into an image. A holographic image can be seen by looking into an illuminated holographic print or by shining a laser through a hologram and projecting the image onto a screen. I haven’t seen a hologram personally but I did read an article in which in 2012 at Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival the deceased rapper Tupac Shakur performed through a holographic form. 2 years later at the Billboard music awards, Michael Jackson performed through Hologram. Holograms are mainly used to test different materials used in constructions but If this is possible just from a music festival then how can holograms enhance the world of theatre. As always there will be pros and cons. One pro is that is will be cost effective you will no need a full cast of actors that you will need to pay from each show instead you can replay the same hologram clip which will be one price in addition to this you won’t need to worry about people not being able to make the show as the hologram is much more reliable. Another pro is that there is greater control, with Holograms if you wanted your set to look a certain way and you want to see how it will look in a more precise way you can really visualise it other than a cardboard and wood version. You can also change things without making a whole new copy. The cons of using holograms in theatre are that it requires expensive technology which means to make up for the cost the prices for theatre tickets which may disappoint some people as they will no longer be able to afford. Lastly, another con is that Holograms can only reflect properly of certain lighting so if there is something else going on in the scene where there is a huge amount of lighting then the Hologram won’t be as effect. This means that you won’t be able to watch a full length show that was just Holograms unless you only had one lighting. (Wakim, 13th January 2019)

To conclude the future of technology and theatre is changing, but I do believe the changes in theatre are slower compared to technology changes in other fields.

Emotion Memory-
Linking real life events to the events that your "playing" in the scene. I found emotion memory useful throughout my performance and it helps me live in my characters, for example when I am acting in An Christmas Carol playing the chairwoman scene even though I can't link to that character especially I think about a certain aspect of the Chairwoman that I can to link to my life and run with that so I think about a time I  was looking through people things or being selfish. After getting this emotion memory I will use this to portray these feeling into this scene. (1)

Vocal Projection-
Speaking not shouting, to the character as well as the audience. But do it in a way that the back of the audience ( the cheap seats) can hear you clearly, without thinking your shouting at them. As I am near the end of the play, I need to grab their attention straight away by using my voice as a microphone to grab their audience. To increase my loudness I start to control my diaphragm, intensively. For this, I use a good diaphragmatic breathing technique throughout.


Understanding Character-
When working on a piece of drama, you have to ask the question to yourself to really know your character and become one with your character. These questions can include...
1. Who am I?
2. Where am I?
3. When is it?
4. Where have I just come from?
5. What do I want?
6. Why do I want it?
7. Why do I want it now?
8. What will happen if I don't get it now?
9. How will I get what I want by doing what?
10. What must I overcome?


 Even though I play 2 characters, I still need to know who I am really am in depth.  So my first character I play is the Chairwomen who is a maid and cook who lives with Scrooge.  Thinking about my character I feel like I have just come from Scrooges' house trying to scrape up any last extra things I can get some money for,  I made a backstory for myself in which I use to be homeless and Scrooge, when he was kinder, decided to take me in and work for him. Over the years he has gotten meaner and because I dont have anywhere to go  I just stayed.
1. My name is Katherine but everyone calls me Kate of just Chairwomen
2. I live in the dirty rough side of east London locally known as Whitechapel
3. The year is 1843
4. I have just come from my late boss Scrooge's home which I hope would be mine soon
5. I want to make a large sum of money whatever means necessary. Dont care how I make it I just want to make it.
6. I have always been poor, treated badly, so I do believe I should receive some justice in my life
7. All my life I have been known as the poor child, There was a lot of children in my family we were all sick a lot of the time. I just wanted something better for myself, for my family.
8. I will be out of the street again which is what I dont.
9. Since Scrooge is dead, I cleaned his house for 20 years + and I know he had a fortune God knows he did. So instead of him be buried with all this money and jewels, I thought it would be a better idea if I took it to Old Joe
10. Even though I have worked with him for 20+years I dont actually know how much all of this is worthed, everyone says he has money but how much money does he actually have. Because the average bear has more money than me.

 My other character is the solicitor, so for me to understand the character more and not just read lines of a page, I need to ask myself questions as if I am hot-seating myself to get a deeper insight about who I am.
1. My name is Cornelius Richardson
2. I am in the hear of Camden
3. It is the year 1843
4. I have just come from the Taylor's family who have given me a large donation
5. I just want to go home spend the rest of Christmas day with my family
6. It's Christmas day, I don't usually work on the holidays but I love meeting people who want to give me donations
7. I dont get to see my family much even though I love spending time with them so today shall and will be extra special.
8. I will be incredibly angry, I should be used to it but it still hurts me that I dont get to see my family that much.
9. If I say merry christmas that I see I do believe that my journey home will be quicker and more joyful
10. I dont want to see Mr Scrooge I try every year to ask him for money and every year he tells me "NO" and because I dont want my mood spoiled I rather not see him

Stage presence-
Being able to create a certain charisma and charm, that I, an actor possess which also draws in the audience and commands their full attention. The audience are generally fully attended during the start and remember the end the most. As I am near the end of the play, I need to make sure I keep the audience attentive all the time when I am speaking. I can use a few techniques to do this such as, raise in my voice, taking a pregnant pause, emphasising on certain words.

Engagement with audience -
Engaging with the audience is crucial throughout the performance, just to feel a certain connection with the audience thinking about my character when I am in the scene and not talking I could mime or use actual props to look at the items that I have brought to Old Joe. When Old Joe is talking to the laundress about the money he is giving her I could try to take some of her money or look through her bundle and see the clothes that she had. The reaction I would like from the audience is Laughter.

Stage awareness-
Being aware of the stage around me and using the stage space wisely. I have came up with a tip in which whenever I change the space when I am re-hearsing my voice stays the same. So if i am in the theatre or the drama studio my voice can still be heard from the back of the room. I do this for 2 reasons. 1. It is easier for me to make my voice quieter than louder. 2. The louder people speak the more confident they sound, usually when people whisper it shows alack of confidence. So sub-consciencely I am speaking confidently just by speaking louder. We have decided to remove the theatre seats and have normal chairs. As this is a musical so we have dancers and singers this gives the dancers more space to move and also this gives us a chance to walk through the audience, for example, Marley character who is known to be very spooky of every adaptation of Christmas Carol. As a group, we decided that he should come from the audience to scare the audience members.

Articulation-
Articulating my words so that my words do not just sound like one big mumble and the audience can connect with the words. When we talk with our friends we dont over articulate per word. But to act a character that is not ourselves we need to over articulate, so the whole audience can hear and understand my words clearly. Warm-ups to help with my articulation is doing tongue twisters such as "Unique- New York" really over pronouncing the U'S, N'S and Y'S another tongue twister is " sea, sells, sea shells on the sea shore" again really over pronouncing the S's and making sure I am saying the correct words and make sure I'm  not making up words such as seahells. Longer tongue twisters work as I am saying a paragraph, so I should get use to being able to articulate for a longer amount of time

Characters Actions-
A quick activity we did in class to get to know our characters was to pick 3 motions our characters by ourselves and repeat them. My 3 actions were
1. Sneaking through corridors
2. picking up money from the floor
3. counting my pennies and grinning
These 3 actions told me about my character that I am a very sneaking and nosey person. If I was compared to an animal I think I would be compared to a Zebra, because I blend in with society but when time to run and escape I will and leave everyone behind. (2) I'm not ashamed to pick up money from the floor as long as it will help me to be richer in the long run. (3) Every little penny I earn makes me a bit richer even if I have to do dirty work such as stealing and lying
