Performing Arts

Drama was always interesting to me because I liked the thought of taking on different persona. Ever since I was a little boy I would pretend I was Spiderman or Sonic or any other character that I had just seen on the T.V. I still do it today and that's a problem that I have with myself. I can't think for myself. I have to think as the person that I am thinking of in the back of my mind. If that makes any sense. If you've ever met me then you probably met someone else.

I always counted dance as 'gay'... until I apparently got good at it. I got a letter from my dance teacher recommending that I did it. This pleased me until I discovered that about 100 other people go the exact same letter. I finished my GCSE dance and ended up with a B which I was pleased with but the problem with doing all three performing arts is that you don't have a lot of choice when it comes to picking subjects later down the line. Long story still kept quite long, I had to pick dance at A-Level. This is not a good choice when you spend the whole summer before sixth form sitting around playing video games and eating because you don't come back in shape for a year of dance.

Music was always my passion. Ever since I was a little boy and I used to sing to 'ABBA' or 'Blue' (I think my mum hated me). I took up guitar when I started to slowly get into rock music, I vividly remember every morning being woken up to 'Dragonforce' from upstairs in the kitchen. The same year I got my first guitar was the same year that I went to my first gig and seeing Joe Perry shred on the guitar defiantly inspired me to get better and now I'm here, 8 years later with an A in GCSE music and an unrelieved AS level in Music Technology and I've also been elected to be the guitarist of my school's house band. Something that I have been working on getting for about 6 years.

All in all I'm a performing arts kid through and through and I love it... except for dance. Dance sucks shit.
