Showcase Week & late night self taping.

I've spent the last two weekend - both sat & sun rehearsing for my EDSA end of year show and we are now in the Gordon Craig Theatre, Stevenage rehearsing every night & sat until Show Time!!

Saturday 19th July at 7pm in the Gordon Craig.

It's really hot as well! 

Last night when mum picked me up she asked me if I would do a self tape for BoBe. I was well tired but I won't win it if I'm not in it so I quickly read the lines and tried really hard to get into character. Mum said we were gonna have three takes and then pick the best. 

I kept making mum laugh as every time she stopped filming I yawned and yawned and when she said go I quickly stopped and did my lines.

It was the quickest self tape we've ever done but mum said she ruined

It by dropping something in front of the camera but we sent it as I just carried on without noticing and dad says it's the acting not the filming that they want to see. 

I don't think I'll win this one but I don't mind as I'm on holiday soooooon. 

Working Out What I Want

It's been a really tough few weeks but it's been good because it has made me look at the things im doing and deciding what I really enjoy and where I want to go in the future.

I have always said I want to be an actress. It's just that at the moment I am not getting the acting teaching and practising that I want.

I enjoy working for a stage performance - acting with song & dance scenes - like Rare's shows. 

I know I'm too tall as a kid for professional musical theatre so there's not point training in this at the moment.

I am not really a dancer. Yes I work hard and can learn a routine, but I am not the child that has been ballet since they could walk or can get my leg over my head whilst standing - !! 

So I'm looking into drama schools/classes/groups rather than performing arts schools. Mum says specialising not diversifying - I don't get that either 😳

Mum and me are going camping in Cornwall in two weeks, I'm very excited 😝 it's been very quiet for me with BoBe but mum says I've been blocked out coz of All the other shows I've been doing. Got EDSA showcase over 5 days, then on holiday 5 days then on holiday with everyone for a week so can't do castings or work. 

Bonnie was mailing mum about the pics i had done with Sarah, so that's good I hope. But I can now relax as nothing to do once showcase over - until September. 

Ps the picture is from Sarah Fisher. She gave me some really nice pictures to keep from our shoot in June -THaNKyOu Sarah  x 

Little Shop of Horrors

I got a postcard from Top Hat announcing a audition for choir in Little Shop of Horrors.

I hadn't seen the musical so I watched it last night with the family. It was brilliant and I love Suddenly Seymour!

Now I've seen it I would just LOVE to be in it but not just the choir, I'd like to be on the stage as main. 

And today as EDSA as I was going for the break I heard the little ones singing  little shop, I asked if we would be singing anything from it but they don't think so.

Emil Dale School of Performing Arts - EDSA

During the week mum got an email to say I was suitable for EDSA and I was welcome to join them on Sunday 13th. Which I did. 

I'm really happy at the school where they are teaching me singing, dancing & acting. Our dance teacher says he wants perfection and I'm pleased because he has very high expectations of us and we should be reaching for perfection! 

Thanks Emil & team, can't wait to see you on Sunday!
