Laura’s Drama Biog Blog
Well I guess my drama/ performing arts experience began when I was 5 years old when I did creative dance with my older sister at Deakin when it was Rusden funnily enough! I cant really remember much but ive got photos of me holding a big pole with streamers and of the dance group and I think I had a crush on one of the older boys! From then my experience with drama/dance didnt really begin again until high school, I started playing the violin in primary school and played in some string workshops and concerts. I started drama in year seven at highschool and got involved in the school productions from year seven I remember doing the Canterbury Rider and we had to where these sock booty things and as I was dancing I slipped over and was in a ball on the floor was very embarrassing in fact Ive fallen twice in school productions the second which was went to be a fake fall but I actually did fall and my dance partner fell on top of me! So some good fun memories from school productions! For me Drama became my outlet in high school it was the subject I enjoyed to go to and I poured all my energy into it, Drama was a positive experience for me up until Year 11 when we got the worst teacher ive ever encountered, we had to sit in class and do breathing exercises for the whole lesson thats it she was eventually sacked and now I know how to breathe! Id stopped playing the violin and had given up playing tennis, so drama became my passion. In year 12 we had an awesome teacher, he would spend countless hours after school working with each student, on how they could develop their monologue, he renewed my interest in becoming a teacher as it made me see that all students should have that experience during high school, they should have a teacher that is passionate about what there teaching from their own experiences and would be willing to work with them and give them a 100% of their time and dedication and I hope thats what I will bring to teaching!
