    So I think that acting/storytelling has always been motivated by the simple desire of play for both myself and the audience. I’m fascinated by the simultaneous event of entertainment and catharsis that occurs when we tell…

    Through theater, we can bring history and what we re-member back to life. We can “re-member” the historical details and facts that have been kept from us- hidden. And, once we do this, just like Daniel, we can feel a small sense of liberation. We can feel that we are freer through the art of acting and through the art of storytelling. And this, is why I believe Cherrie Moraga writes.…

    It is not the singular grand achievement that a person should be judged upon; rather, it’s the collection of smaller triumphs that should determine one’s character. Therefore, it makes sense that my biggest obstacles manifest in my day-to-day life; for instance, my character had been truly tested in Boone High’s spring play production--the lead-up to the premier had been scared by setbacks, marred by the lack of memorization, and saturated by stress. First and foremost, theatre is more than just an extracurricular activity or resume fluff because it has taught me several lessons; and, in hindsight, theater has exposed some character flaws, as well. For example, my abilities as an actor outshine my poor time management skills--attributed to the fact I have a severely busy schedule. Nevertheless, I still learned my lines and performed one of our most memorable and beloved shows.…

    Personally, I think my constant strive to be better at what I love to do says a lot about me and shows my determination. My parents have always said the talent will only get you so far and that hard work and dedication is what will get you all the way. Being a part of theater for about 5 years now has also taught me a lot about empathy and working as a team. Learning how to embody and live as someone else for just a little while has made me a more empathetic person outside of the theater and made me more understanding to those who live differently than I do or have different beliefs and values. Rehearsing and performing with the same group of people for 4 weeks to even a few months can bring people quite close.…

    Writing in Theater For people who have only been witnesses to the art of theater, many do not see all of the time and work that goes into a single production. To start, there’s the actual script writing. Then there’s getting the script published, getting a company to pay for the show, auditioning for the characters, casting the show, memorizing lines, writing blocking, writing set ideas, building the set, starting production, and so much more! So much time and effort goes into it, but it’s a beautiful pain to endure, and that’s why I love theater so much.…

    Without theatre, I would not be a comfortable public speaker and I would not be able to relate to a wide variety of audiences. The arts, in general, have helped me to stay loose and on my toes in hectic situations. The support that I receive from others for being involved with musical theatre is the reason it is important that people to know I am involved in…

    The heat from the stage lights, the watchful gazes of the audience, and the sweat dripping off of our faces as we struggle to remember our lines, these sensations of being on stage are what caused the performing arts to become not only an activity, but also a passion and an unexpected source of personal growth. Through my experiences in drama and music I have been able to discover my own meaning of fulfillment and define who the person behind my appearance truly is. My passion in the performing arts started when I was a young child first learning to play the violin. Picking up the violin at the age of 6, I became stuck on one of the most basic songs for almost a whole year. At that time no one believed that I could play the violin, my teacher thought that I was too hyperactive and even my mom attempted to convince me to quit.…

    As class has progressed this semester I have seen such a difference in the way I approach text and breath through my acting. Breath has been a continual theme, but it is really not about the air moving into our lungs being absorbed into our blood stream and then the CO2 exiting our bodies. What makes breath so special in response to voice is and how we use this very scientific process to make emotional connections and expressive actions that joins us as humans to each other and connects an actor to their audience. Over the past few weeks we have explored breath and many other aspects of voice. I have learned how to incorporate these different aspects into a practical acting setting through the development of a warm up, poem rehearsal, and…

    “What career to choose when there are so many things that interest me?” I would always ask myself this since I wanted to do and be everything.

My top three career choices are to be a teacher, an actress, and a cinematographer.…
