Extra-Curricular activities related
to Drama-
Merchistoun Hall Youth Arts (MHYA) is an out of ‘school’ drama club. Joined
August 2013.
The
skills that I have are organised, confident, reliable, polite, approachable.
Skills,
qualities and experience I’ve yet to gain are; a attitude ‘teacher-like’,
strict, to-the-point, experience in teaching, working with children.
My career aim/ aspirations?
I would
like to become an actress and to perform on stage in various theatres, be in
musicals or even feature on a television/radio show. I want to experience all
types of theatre and acting.
I would
also love to teach Drama to secondary school students.
How do I get there?
Italia
Conti
BA
(Hons) Acting degree programme (18 years +)
The course aims are “to provide a comprehensive acting
training, and to equip graduates to work in the acting profession.” (http://www.italiaconti-acting.com/ba-hons-acting/)
The skills taught on this course in the first year are Stanislavski’s system, Chekov,
Shakespeare, group projects, acting, movement, voice, singing.
In the second
year,
Commedia del’ arte, Contemporary world theatre and Jacobean theatre.
In the final year the school focusses on mainly just practise
for the future profession. Students will take part in a large range of
performances as practise. This final year is all set out professionally,
including auditions, meetings and rehearsal circumstances. Students also get
the opportunity to work with a film company to experience film acting.
Finance options:
There is a small fee of £45 for audition and applying. There
is no information for the prices of this course however as a rough estimate it
will be between £9000 to £14,000. F
Why is this course for me?
This
course is for me because they focus on, in the final year, purely on
experiences of the theatre industry with the professional audition process. Everything
comes with practise and if, after this course, I can say a list of shows that I’ve
been in, whatever size the character is, this then shows that I’ve had practise
in the industry and am used to the process of being on stage, in front of an
audience. I feel that acting is easier said than done, so if I can leave Conti
with lots more theatre experience then I will be ready to jump straight into auditioning.
My current skills relate to experience
in radio; as at school we had the opportunity to create our own radio station. I've done small roles of film
acting but I have only been taught in theatre acting so I would it would be
interesting to experience film acting fully which Conti can help me to do so,
in the final year.
All this previous experience and ones that
I will continue to learn or learn at Conti will help me to fully
understand each and every element of acting covering the entire aspects of it
to help me become a knowledgeable actor, allowing me to begin to
audition for theatre, TV, film, radio and even musicals. In my second year at
college we will cover film and radio which will also help me to enter this
course with some knowledge to present and extend on, especially in the film
project in the final year.
Alumni of Italia Conti:
Some of the well-known
singers, comedians and models:
Russel Brand
Kelly Brooks
Pixie Lott
Post-training: There will be no need for any
training after this course, but experience is always asked for from theatre
companies so I would go straight into the audition process.
