Success is not the result of spontaneous combustion. You must first set yourself on fire.

Rehearsals have begun for our latest project, the first of many shows that we will be putting on in our final year of training. At the present moment it is in very early stages of rehearsal, having completed only day two today, but already it has the potential to be very interesting.
The production is going to be a purely devised piece looking at the psychological and social aspects of binge drinking in the UK and is being artistically directed by Jemma McDonnell of The Paper Birds Theatre Company. Naturally due to the way the piece is going to be created we do not know exactly what shape the show will take by the end, although there are several ideas floating around as we speak. My intention is to post some sort of rehearsal journal on my website every week just to summarise the direction in which things have gone so keep an eye open for that.
Also before Christmas we will be producing and performing some small-scale applied theatre shows within the Northampton area more details of which I will share with you all as news comes to me. Also the second half of this term will also see the commencement of our Industry Preparation module in which effectively we are educated specifically on the business side of acting which I strongly believe is knowledge that can help to make or break an actors career quite drastically.
I'm going to hold off telling you any of the information for after Christmas for now as things at the present moment are also a bit sketchy for us too so for now the focus will be on this term.
I've noticed also that my latest couple of posts have been a little wishy-washy of late and not entirely thought provoking which is unfortunate as I like to help people really reflect on things around them and the way that things influence the various relationships within our live. Hopefully though before long I will find my feet again and get some more juicy stuff on here. However, for now, it is getting late and I have an earlier start than I am yet used to tomorrow so for now, I bid you goodnight.
