WEEK 13


 Week 13 has now past. My eyes hurt as not only do i have a cut on my right one, i am in dire need of sleep. My week has been incredible. Andrew Scott came in to talk to us (for those unaware of who this amazing man is, i have provided a picture).


He was not only incredibly charming, he was also utterly hilarious and captivating to listen to. I saw him in Design For Living at the Old Vic a few months back and thought he was brilliant. I was so excited to meet him and he did not disappoint. He is currently rehearsing for an Ibsen at the National in a few months, so get tickets before it sells out!



I am currently learning monologues for my Bristol Old Vic audition in January. I have 2 so far and 2 back ups but I'm still incredibly apprehensive about it a sits difficult to know what to expect from the day.

I feel it is necessary to post this video and will let it do the talking, have a great day:

What I Forgot To Upload On New Years:

 What I Intended To Upload After The Aforementioned Party

Pre-RADA In The Sun

I'M GOING TO STOP BEING SO SHIT AT THIS.

Basically, I'm quite crap at sticking to things i start doing. I'm yet to learn the piano, Japanese, guitar, how to do handstands, backward flips, ride the skateboard, use my nunchaku, perfect the diablo and learn to dance.
As it would appear, trying to keep up a blog is providing me with just as much difficulty! There are only 2 things I've ever really been good at sticking to and that is acting and painting, and to be perfectly honest i haven't painted in over 2 months now...not great.
So i figure if i "stop being so shit" and get my ass into gear i can keep up the blog for the next 3 months and upload it regularly. how hard can it be...?

Week 1

I finally have a chance to sit and reflect on my week, not for long though as in two hours some of my fellow students and i are off the the Royal Court Theatre to see if we can nab some 10p tickets!
RADA's buildings are incredible and im surprised every day by the labarynth of halls and mass of stairs. The other day me and my friend james had to run down 3 flights of stairs (nearly crashing into 2nd year students on the way) out of the building, across chesnie street, onto Gower Street, up 6 flights of stairs to Acting room 2 where we discovered that the card we were searching for was not present, then back down 6 flights of stairs, across Gower street to the Chesnie street building then up 3/4 flights of stairs when we burst into the Henry Irving Studio out of breath to find that the card had been picked up by a girl called george! this all happened in 6 minutes: death!


i am always shocked by the level of teaching, not because it didnt expect it to be good, but because it is fantastic! i have learned so much in one week and am unbelieveably excited for monday.

There are friendly the chefs are at dinner which is a pleasant surprise. The food is so good! The other day on a break elliot, alice and i went to get some water and the man who was serving food gave us free chocolates!!! :)  Despite forgetting lunch on friday, i ended up with a free meal from the canteen. why? because someone has paid for all us students at rada to eat for free on fridays. I do not know who they are but i love them to pieces!

this post has been quite grammatically and structurally strange so i apologise if it hasnt read particularly smoothly, i have had little sleep in the past week and have to go learn lines of a sonnet, part of an epic poem AND form a character for a modern greek tragedy!

the photos im about to upload are from yestedays night in Camden. ENJOY!
