I am an Iowa State Cyclone. I always have been and I always will be. Growing up I watched every basketball game, went and watched my cousin play volleyball, and attended plays and musicals in Ames. There was never a doubt in my mind that I wasn't going to attend Iowa State University when I graduated. Guess what?…
“If theatre were available during the school day for all students, it would allow most students to experience the joy of theatre, even those who wouldn’t necessarily try it outside of school.” For Mueller, theatre has proven an integral part of her education, identity, and now even her career. A 2008 State High alumna, she reflects on her SCASD experience: “My best memories are from high school when I had the opportunity to sing in many choirs and perform with the State High Thespians,” said Mueller.…
After Highschool I plan on going to Community College and taking medical classes so that I can Transfer to Sac State. My career that I would like to pursue is to become a Radiology Technician . I currently need to take Anatomy and Physiology classes so that I can further my knowledge of the human body and prepare myself for radiology classes. I want to become a Radiology Technician because it is and indoor and social environment with sufficient pay. The particular field I am interested in Radiology is the Spine and back.…
Theatre is my passion. Theatre is my life. I spend most of my time in our theatre, whether I am in school or out of school. I know a lot of things, but could learn even more through this program. I thank you for reading for my oddly strung together essay.…
My professional career has included some of the top regional theatre companies in the country. My personal experiences include attending night clubs from London to New York, attendance to hundreds of opening and entertainment driven events, theatrical performances, concerts, etc… I have the innate ability to recognize great talent of multiple genres and what will attract an audience and keep them coming back for…
That is when I realized performing became second nature to me. No matter what route I took it always came back to acting. Even after gaining my Theatre associates degree I still have the urge to yearn more for the technique. However, your school offers me the tools to not only act but grants students other opportunities rather than a straight…
My hope is that I am able to continue dancing and acting for the rest of my life and because of this I am eager to take in as much as I can. Because of these particular goals I have set out to spend as much time as possible in rehearsal halls and dance studios. This year especially has been me balancing dance classes every night, performing in The WIZ at First Stage children’s theater, and take acting classes every weekend at First Stage all while keeping just over a 4.0 GPA. Summers are not typically a break for me either. If I’m not taking a company acting class you can probably find me interning at First stage trying to earn credits for future classes.…
My love for film and theater can’t be fed here because the resource are not here. I look around at these people who care about me and my education but I know the opportunities to move forward aren't here. Here I am, applying to your school. A school that I know will not only embrace me and give me that welcoming feel such as Westfield State University did but opportunities. Your institution will allow me to become engulfed in opportunities towards my passion such as film and theater.…
Sound Engineering Technician Live music wouldn't be played the same way without this specific career. Without sound engineering technicians, live music wouldn't sound so amazing or be an experience worth living, the sounds would be all over the place and would leave people's ears tortured "If it sounds right, it is right" (Joe Meek). Being a sound engineering technician involves having to know how the sounds are supposed to sound for the audience, plus the type of instruments to band has may affect the sound system so you have to make sure the sounds from the instruments are just right. Sound engineering technicians are very important if people think about it.…
Although technical theatre is not my cup of tea, I did enjoy learning about some of the things. That is why I am choosing to talk about my two favorite things we discussed this semester: scenic painting and drafting. The first, scenic painting is the one I had the most experience with coming into. To find employment opportunities dealing with scenic painting I went to google and typed in “jobs that require scenic painting.” Surprisingly, I found more than I would have thought.…
Growing up as a child, I always dreamed of becoming an actor. In high school, I started my journey by taking drama classes. Not long after, I become passionate about drama and eventually joined Players, a fast-paced drama program which involves daily rehearsals and performances. This activity boosted my self-confidence and provided me with a basis for future endeavours in drama. Working closely with the cast members as a team, I learned that creativity and commitment result in a successful drama play.…
No matter how many times I get told that, I still don’t believe it. I feel that there is so much more growth in my acting capabilities. My junior year in theatre has been the most memorable thus far. We advanced all the way to Regionals for UIL One Act Play; where we were two schools behind making State. That moment was upsetting; however, I realized that there was so much more I could have done to be better.…
However, I see myself specializing in two main areas: drama and music. Ever since I was six, I have expressed a deep interest in acting and singing/songwriting. My passion for acting was invoked by the pretend games that my friends and I used to play. Through that, my interest blossomed and I began acting. I believe that I can participate in a community of actors and stage technicians to help bring each other up and improve our skills in this area of the arts.…
Now completing my senior year my passion has grown tremendously and my skill level has grown as well. I was so blessed to have an incredible acting teacher in highschool who has prepared me to continue acting through college. Over the years I have won Superiors at thespian festivals in monologues one acts and a short scene.…
Perhaps you’re thinking of joining a theatre crew. You spent much of your childhood attending plays while getting captivated by the fantasy being brought to life before your very eyes and now you want to become part of it. While it is true that most who are in the theatre did join for this very reason, there are some points where the similarities of watching and participating detour into major differences. I preface this with a brief glimpse into my background. First off, I was not an actor.…
