Module 3 - the beginning...

I'm back! I hope you all had an amazing Summer.

After completing Module 2 in May, I was soon off to work on 4:48 Psychosis, a play by Sarah Kane dealing with mental health, which had it's run at the off West End venue, Barons Court Theatre. I can easily say that working on this production was a truly amazing experience. It gave me so much more confidence and I will treasure the memories for a very long time. I feel so lucky to have worked with a fantastic director and cast, and the two 5 star reviews that we received were just the icing on the cake.

The week after the play finished, I went straight into rehearsals for a Chekhov play, The Proposal, in which I played Natalya. This was a much shorter run but I learnt so much from the experience and have now added a Chekhov credit onto my CV which was one of my goals when I graduated college!

As well as starting a new day job and all of the acting, over Summer, I continued to think about my BAPP journey and the professional inquiry I will soon be starting. I began to make a list of the people that I really wanted to gain some information and experiences from, and found a few more websites and articles which were relevant to my inquiry topic. I cannot wait to get started on my inquiry and I will use all of the feedback that I received from my tutor in Module 2 to make sure that I produce the best work that I possibly can.

So now it's back to blogging after a crazy summer. It doesn't quite feel real that I am beginning the final module of my degree. Module 3, let's go...
