My most recent performance was a production called Seussical which my college class performed at the Brentwood Theatre for our FMP in June 2010. Everything that happened on stage was purely directed by our class, and it was very emotional thinking that we had achieved so much after our last college performance. We were determined to set the standard high and that's exactly what we did. My quite strict dance teacher and head of unit, Sandra (or aunty sanje as my class called her) said, and I quote, "The best performance we have had from a Musical Theatre class yet." It was truly inspiring to hear those words. But we worked hard, and I think we deserved it. It has to be, hands down, my favourite performance yet.
College from 2008 - 2010 were completely two of the best years of my life. Working with passion hungry students filled with talent made my time at Havering College pretty amazing, and it makes me sad to think I have thrown a lot of hard work and dedication away to now study a degree in Writing Fashion and Culture.
It's weird I agree, that I've given up something I vow I'm passionate about to study an entirely different subject. The performing industry is hard to get into, and unless you have the right 'connections' or are just bloody damn fantastic, then I was scared I wouldn't get a job out of it. For some people, their drive and love for the business is just enough for them to perform in low key jobs, but for me, I wanted more...
