This week has been crazy busy, and not in a creative way. I’ve barely had time for all the projects I actually want to dedicate time to. So instead, I’m sharing the thoughts, ideas, and experimentations I have discovered today! Today MED Theatre (the company I am currently working with) hosted a workshop held by…
Script in development!
I had an idea for a play (or rather an incoherent series of ideas) right at the beginning of lockdown. I won’t give away too much about it, but its about passion plays, plague and… nothing else beginning with p. Dang it, my writing is getting rusty. It’s also got a lot of different timelines…
Vulnerability in Creation; or, holding myself accountable
Hey everyone, long time no see. Dang, this feels weird. I haven’t done this in a long, long time. (I also tried to make a YouTube video about this; it was thirty minutes of unusable gibberish, so take a moment to be thankful that you were spared that). To people that didn’t know this existed…
Free writing (using dreams as prompts)
‘Thanks,’ I murmured gratefully, clasping my hands around the scalding coffee- a medium mocha, my usual. Irvin smiled at my desperation for a quick hit of caffeine- the unicorn’s blood of this century. He checked his watch once, before gesturing with his head that we venture down the hill. He glanced around furtively, his talon-like…
A ramble about Imposters Syndrome and Taking my Time
The other day, I saw a really interesting video from Nathan Zed where he spoke about the pressure on young people today to ‘make it’ as quickly as possible, and it got me thinking about my relationship with my own work ethic and the achievements of others around me. The truth is, I’m horribly competitive,…
The death of small-scale theatres.
Today, I was planning to write a review on a production I saw in the ‘From Devon With Love’ festival. I sat down with my notes, and felt compelled to put them to one side. It wasn’t what I wanted to write about, from my heart. Yesterday, I went to a talk by the infamous…
Recommendations (eg- my super talented friends)
Hi guys, and a happy new year to all of you!! Unfortunately, Tuesday 2nd (or rather, the early hours of Wednesday 3rd) has caught me in something of a rut, creatively speaking. I meant to write this earlier today but due to poor time management-related reasons, I decided to frantically look at today’s daily prompt…
I’m scared.
I came home for Christmas last weekend, and it turns out this year we only have three weeks for some reason. So I came back with a lot to do: a blog to prepare, an essay to write, a study abroad application to fill out, preparations for next term and… a play to conceive. That’s…
Making ethical decisions in art and life
Last weekend, I went to audition for a friend’s play with my flatmate. We were both pretty excited; it was outside of any society because it had been deemed ‘too controversial’, and it was exciting to think that we could endorse work that wasn’t too affiliated with the university itself, an independent project. However, when…
Free-writing to music
Hi guys! Sorry this is a bit late, I am in a really intense period in my rehearsals for my degree. If you’re missing me on this blog (or if you’re interested in what studying drama is like, and what University of Exeter in particular has to offer), you can check out my blog for…
Adventures of an Anti-social Extrovert
