About Me

1) Try to summarize your experiences in one paragraph including some specific examples of theater you have been involved in. 2) What do you like about theater?  3) What do you find challenging about theater? 4) What do you want to learn more about or grow in? (can be as a perfromer, technician, director, designer, etc.) 5) Set 3-5 specific goals for this year for yourself.

I have been doing some form of theater yearly since 3rd grade. For 7-8 years I went to a summer camp where we made up our own show, wrote a script, choreographed a dance, and rewrote lyrics to songs to make a 30 minute musical. I also have done many school musicals and a couple shows at an arts sleep away camp. Although I have been apart of many shows in my life, I have never really taken time to work on technique. I am a very extroverted person but often when on stage (with an audience) I loose a lot of that confidence. Throughout rehearsals, I am outspoken and practice well but something in my brain clicks and usually negatively affects me during performances. I absolutely love theater. The whole concept of digging deep into someone life, so deep that you can impersonate them is really fascinating to me. One thing I struggle a lot with in theater is self criticism. I often don't dig deep enough into my character during a rehearsal and have lots of anxiety right before a show. One thing I want to learn more about is preparation for a show and how to best use my rehearsal time to fully play the role I am given. Some goals I have for this year are to learn how to better my skills and apply them to the stage, decrease my anxiety and judgement of my self, and learn ways to support my peers on the stage. These are my theater goals and reflections.
