Example of a Personal Statement
I have chosen to apply for a degree course, which combines theoretical and practical Drama, with an emphasis on practical work. I am anticipating this will lead to a post-graduate course of further intensive training; ultimately leading to a career in acting. With this in mind, I am taking advantage of a GAP year, to gain further experience in the theatre. As an A-level Theatre Studies student, I am involved in studying the practitioners behind contemporary drama and this I enjoy. However, I find that I am drawn towards the aspects of the course that involve working as a group to produce our own pieces. I find that this is very helpful in developing my skills in group-work, and I also feel a sense of achievement at the end of these projects.
Psychology A-level contributes to furthering my understanding of the theatre, through the study of people. This helps me to gain a greater empathy when creating characters, and judging reactions to certain situations. I am also taking English A-level. I find that the continual study of texts enables me to gain a very quick basic insight into characters when first looking through a script, or when simply forming an idea in my mind.
Throughout my school-life, I have been heavily involved in theatrical productions, often taking influential or leading roles. This year, I was Sadie in a production of ‘Across the Barricades’; a modern day ‘Romeo and Juliet’ set in Belfast. I felt that this gave me an excellent opportunity to develop the character because the director allowed principal cast members to largely make their own decisions on their individual character and their relation to other members of the cast. Other plays that I have taken principal roles in have included; ‘The Royal Hunt of the Sun’ in which I took the role of Young Martin, and ‘Animal Farm’, in which I played Napoleon.
My other school commitments include various bands and choirs inside the

    Drama Stolen Essay

    • 1402 Words
    • 6 Pages

    The first scene that we performed in the play ‘Stolen’ is called ‘Your Mum’s Dead’. In this scene, I played the character of Jimmy’s mother while my other group members played the characters of Jimmy and the Warden. In this part of the play, we witness Jimmy tackling with his nostalgia and torment in the hands of the Institution. The issue of ‘excessive authority and power’ that the Australian authority exercised during this time is profoundly raised and explored in this scene. To illustrate that effectively, my group members and I incorporated the use of symbolism, voice over, contrasting images, and props in our performance. I start of the scene by reading out loud my character’s letters to Jimmy. While I read the letters, my other group members acted out the characters of Jimmy and the Warden. In this scene we incorporated the use of contrast between Jimmy’s mother’s hopeful message and the actuality of what Jimmy experienced at the hands of the Institution. We implemented this contrast by using stage directions and placement. My character was placed at the top right hand corner of the stage proportional to the bright lights of the stage while my group mates were behind me at a diagonal distance acting out the beating and…

    ‘Appropriations are often a reflection of our time’. This can be seen with Shakespeare’s play ‘Romeo and Juliet’, a play which was written almost 400 years ago. Although modern appropriations have been made; with Franco Zeffirelli’s, Elizabethan version (1968), and Baz Luhrmann’s (1996) more contemporary version, the essence of the play, and why audiences appreciate it remain the same. In order to highlight this, comparisons between the ‘Ballroom’ and ‘Balcony’ scenes of each film can be made. Although the setting, costumes and props are very different, the underlying themes remain true to Shakespeare’s original text.…
