“I got up and pretended to study the pictures on the walls like I was a lover of religious art. When I got to the Merciful Mother right above Sinita’s head, I reached in my pocket and pulled out the bottom I’d found on the train. It was sparkly like a diamond and had a little hole in back so you could thread a ribbon through it and wear it like a romantic lady’s choker necklace. It wasn’t something I’d do, but I could see the button would make a good trade with someone inclined in that direction.

The past four years, I have breathed, slept, eaten, thought and immersed myself in all thing pertaining to theatre. This is where I discovered to truly work in a team, where I could be without fear of being something I am not, and where I have found peace in the maddening swirl of day to day life, ironic in the fact that theatre is a hectic world. This world is where I have made my best friends and found people I know I can count on and that I insist can depend on me. If I have learned one thing from my experiences in theatre, it is to strive and achieve

Before I even entered high school, I obtained a love of theater and the performing arts. I have been singing and acting since I was nine, as well as on and off dancing since three. Taking classes at a local theater really introduced me to this interest of mine. When I entered high school, an injury kept me from doing shows. But now I graduate with nine high school shows under my belt, as well as being in multiple community theater productions. Being a part of these shows made me feel a strong sense of belonging, and whether I was an ensemble or lead

To tackle the housing affordability, first of all, it is crucial to lift the supply of housing as it will release the pressure on the housing price. Nevertheless, the supply of housing is inelastic as it requires an adequate fund, time, approval from the Government. Besides, the housing system is heavily dependent on the private sector. Thus, the Government should provide initiatives for housing providers to shift the supply of houses in the market. Australia would follow the policies from other countries to tackle the housing affordability. However, it has to fit in the Australian context. These policies might work well in other places but it does not mean that it will be applicable in Australia. The Singapore Government has a public

1. Understand how legislation, frameworks, codes of practice and policies relate to positive behaviour support.

One of the most important theatrical experiences I’ve had the opportunity to partake in was when I was cast as Lil Inez in the Tony Award winning musical, Hairspray, written by a native of my city, John Waters. In the musical, my character struggles with understanding the racially-prejudice world around her as she fights to show her pride and get her voice heard. Playing the role of Lil Inez was very insightful to me personally, because I had been ostracized at my previous elementary school simply because I was biracial in a predominantly African-American school. As a performer, every character I develop is similar to assembling a jigsaw puzzle, and the feeling of being able to embody the solved puzzle once all the pieces fit together is irreplaceable.

During my high school experience, I have truly embraced the arts, specifically performing arts. Tri-School Theatre (an extra-curricular, educational theatre program) has been a great opportunity where I have been able to appreciate my talents while learning about theatre with other students. Being an active leader in this program, I constantly collaborate with students for rehearsals and events; after my junior year of high school, I was nominated to be an assistant director for a children’s production, Aladdin Jr. Having much enthusiasm for the arts and promoting theatre at school, I was thrilled with this opportunity. Theatre has strengthened my self-confidence,

The arguments I choose to assess for truth and validity will be three statements taken from the Application's list 12.2 (a -y) at the end of Ch. 12, “The Art of Thinking” publication. I will start with the statement (j) the premise that "power must be evil because it can corrupt people." Checking the argument for any hidden premises and ensuring it is stated fully and in a clear concise way is the first step. This argument seems to pass the first hurdle, however after checking for errors affecting truth, the argument has flaws. Beginning with, the part of the argument that says power corrupts people is not true

Sally Dingo the author of Ernie Dingo the King of the Kids, positions us as we read through the book for us to feel almost we had known him all through his life, and that we are like mates toward him. we may feel sympathy for one of their beloved family member dies or admiration for Ernie’s sporting talents in basketball, he was usually called ‘show pony’.

Many long nights have been spent rehearsing a complicated dance number, memorizing lines, or just resting my voice. I have tried to seize every opportunity to perform and have been blessed with some amazing roles, cast members, directors, and coaches. In addition, I have also experienced my fair share of disappointment. Lead roles I believed were perfect for me sometimes went to someone else. These failures taught me no matter how small a role may be, it is vastly important to the overall success of the play, and offers the actor a chance to grow and learn. Years ago, I promised myself when someone sees me perform, he or she will know I am giving 100% each and every

Standing on an empty stage brings a different feeling to an actor than it would have to the audience. The midnight curtains swaying from the soft breeze through the holes in the ceiling, and the vast open space that can immediately be turned into another world carrying you away from reality. For me, being an actor, brings a sense of home and peacefulness. It's where I belong. But it didn’t start off this way. I entered my junior year with my sights on engaging in theatre more but was sadly hindered from continuing. I had all my classes set, but theatre hadn't managed to fit into it. How could I grow as an actor when the only knowledge I was getting were constructing sets and being in shows? I wasn’t getting the experience to learn about the history of theatre or techniques that would allow me to grow as an actor. So I sat back, riding my way through junior year anxiously waiting till my second semester to change my classes and anticipating the annual musical auditions. I will never forget the day the cast list for the musical came in. I was lying on my bed around

I feel privileged to mention here that I have felt accepted and encouraged by my theatrical colleagues in the U.S. I have been supported and welcomed by my fellow actors and directors as I performed a wide diversity of roles. I am really interested in studying at Yale's summer session and would especially value the training being offered by the Yale faculty in the fundamentals of acting. I believe that the teachers and students at Yale would enhance my awareness of my craft and its utilization in U.S. theater, television

The next year, I broadened my options and began participating in a community theatre. The show at that summer was my very favorite, Les Miserables. After the audition, I got a phone call saying I had gotten a callback for Cosette. Unfortunately, I did not get the part but was able to be a part of such a phenomenal, God-centered musical. The callback gave me the motivation to work harder and it proved to me that I was talented and would someday be where I wanted to be.

My summer went a little like how every teenager in America’s summer goes. Avoiding sunlight at all costs and pressing the ‘next episode’ button on netflix. The exception of this is the most marvelous thing that comes after ice cream and books. Theatre camp. I can’t begin to describe how it feels to perform in musicals in front of thousands of people. performing is taking all these people’s emotions and changing them with scenes and musical numbers. Then when you see the red velvet curtains close it feels like you're on the top of the world. Now the thing is directors don’t cast based on how you feel about the musical; they cast on your singing and acting abilities which i don’t have much of. That is how I ended up at theatre camp.

The auditorium filled with applause and laughter. I felt a rush of multiple conflicting emotions as the final performance of Mentor Theatre’s “The Man Who Came to Dinner” came to a close. I was so filled with joy and accomplishment but such strong sorrow that the play that took all my time and devotion for months, came to an end in the blink of an eye. On that same day, that instant, I felt loss, but even greater gain. Every day from that point on, I knew exactly what I wanted to do in my future, exactly what my dream to chase would be. I knew that this moment would inspire me to pursue the art of acting in my future for it was my deepest passion.
