Ok, Hopefully this has finally worked!( If there are several half drafts attached to it, my apologies.)
Well, basically I fell into drama by a series of chance. On a visit to Adelaide my mother sent off an application for a drama school and auditioned and happened to get in and as a result stayed in Adelaide for 3yrs while I completed the course. I fell in love with my voice teacher, a brilliant actress and teacher called Cath Carter who was our Shakespeare / Voice teacher and as a result fell in love with the way we worked with all our Shakespeare work. Cath had trained in the states with Shakesperae and Co and i had decided to do the same and become a voice teacher, so after graduation I went on to do a mentorship with Cath and started getting ready to go overseas. Last minute I kinda changed my mind and decided to go instead to David mamets ‘Atlantic theatre company school’ so I moved over to new york for awhile and trained.
Comong back to Australia was great, I felt competent and positive and worked for awhile as an actor and a drama teacher and then I started to have a mini meltdown and stopped doing any acting or even auditioning. At the moment I am trying to break out of this and get back into it with baby steps. But whilst I wait for abit of inspiration I decided to study teaching so atleast I can remain in the general field . Its definetly a different perspective to look at drama from and i am suprised that Im still finding the course as interesting as I do.
Well well. thanks for reading.
