As many of you know, last Christmas I took part in a charity pantomime “Cinderella”. It was orginised by a charity called The Viva! Project.
Viva is a registered charity working with disabled young people aged between 11 and 25, who live in the Rhondda Valleys in South Wales. The charity was established in 1992 to create and facilitate leisure and training opportunities for young people with disabilities.
I shall don my red cap and suit once more to play Buttons, Cinderella’s best friend. The performance will take place sometime during April. I really enjoyed playing that character. I’m so excited to be reprising it!
I am also contemplating auditioning for this year’s school production. It is based on a West End musical called “We Will Rock You” and it features the songs of rock band Queen.
I am nervous about auditioning, but if I don’t try I will never know. Also Freddie Mercury’s voice is high pitched. I don’t think his songs will suit my voice. To be honest, I am not a big fan of Queen, but I like some of their songs. I have not sung a song by Queen in my life!! There’s a first time for everything.
Also when I studied Drama at GCSE level, it used to frustrate me a lot. I’d work so hard in rehearsals, then on the day I’d mess it all up by forgetting my words. It was a scripted performance and it did not help my nerves when an examiner turned up to watch, I froze!
I felt so bad. I felt I let everyone down. It really knocked my confidence and I began to loathe the subject. I’m back with a vengeance and I want to show that teacher what I can do!
Thanks to my ADC Group for providing the graphics.
