Election post
MT Society has been a highlight of my 1st year at UCL. From performing in Blooms to soon performing as a clock (yes, an actual clock) in Beauty and the Beast, there's so much I've enjoyed about being part of this society. I really want to offer the freshers next year, and continuing members, a range of workshops to develop new skills as well as foster the fantastic talent we already have within this society.
Here are a few of my ideas!!
Cross-society Collabs:
- Working with ArtsUCL Societies to:
- Introduce new approaches to acting.
- Try alternative dance styles.
- Developing new skills whilst offering opportunities to meet other people within ArtsUCL, expanding our MT community.
Theatre Visits!
- Reaching out to nearby venues and discuss potential opportunities for members to visit.
Regular Training Opportunities:
- Developing production skills: Core prod (Directing, MD-ing, Choreographing), but technical ones too (e.g. Costume Design).
- Collaborating with MT industry professionals -- offering insight into the life of a working professional.
A workshop I have in mind, in particular, is one geared towards helping those who want to move onto drama school post-grad. Bringing in a range of both industry and alumni professionals to explain the processes and options they have will be invaluable.
These are just a few of the ideas I have now; and if elected, I'd love to hear any and all suggestions!
