Hey, Its Hayley :D
I enjoy being a part of the performin arts because there are so many different levels to it, from Divising and Improv with developing your own plays to setting it in your own interpretation. I love being able to change character and researching the characters backgrounds to having your mind set in the right place. I particularly enjoy dark thatre and theatre of cruelty. I dont particularily enjoy comedy "/ <3
Hey, I'm Nakul, my main objective from this course is to become an successful television/film actor either in the UK or abroad. My favourite type of acting is more on the intense side, playin serious roles which include alot of emotion but I don't mind doing comedy either. If you wish to find out more, please don't hesitate to contact me. Thank You.

Thank you to everyone who has posted so far. I think there are still one or two more to come but it's good to see such a wide range of interests.
Hi I'm Matt. I chose to do performing arts because acting is one of my passions and it is one of the few things I enjoy thoroughly. I like the idea of being able to loose myself in someone elses life for a couple of hours. I like that feeling you get when everything works together perfectly and produces a good show. I like that everbody has their own little input into the show making them feel more connected and devoted to it. Most of all I like being able to see and audience react with emotion and enjoy themselves so much that they feel they are there, but I'm not quite that good at the moment. So I took the course. :)
Also I'm a bit of a joker and sometimes have too much energy so acting is a good release of energy.
Hey there, I'm Giverny.
I love performing arts because it gives me such a buzz to be able to become someone else and have my audience believe that I am that person. It gives me a sense of control which i lack in my normal world of Giverny. Laughing, in my opinion is the most amazing form of expression and I feel that if I can make people laugh with me then I'm making a difference to someones life, even if it's just for a second but I can then turn around and say, "hey, I made them laugh". I did a performance when I was at Footsteps theatre school, it was only a small talent show at Bradford and Bingly arts centre. Me and a few peers decided that we should do our own, slightly more innocent version of The Royal Family Comedy series. We rehearsed and rehearsed until our heads didnt work anymore, then it was time to do the show, infront of maybe a couple of hundred people I sat on a chair in the middle of the stage and we began to act. Throughout the whole performance, the audiance were laughing and to me, that's all I can remember. That's my biggest influence to do performing arts. Hopefully after this course I will be training to be a teacher and show students like myself that anything is possible if you want it enough. xxx
