This is a writing from the present, about the past. The first two weeks were really about me just finding my feet, in a new school, surrounded by new people, working on a new project. However, one of the main reasons I chose to move to ASHS was because of Impact Project. I have a rough idea of where I want to go in life, but when it comes down to the specifics, there are too many choices. Do I direct? Do I act? Theatre or screen? Why not both? What about my love for all things in fine arts? Photography? Stage management?
I have been acting in theatre for most of my life, and I feel like I know it pretty well. Ideally, I will be a full-time, financially stable actor for the rest of my life. Realistically, this is not going to happen. Instead, I must broaden my horizons. So while acting is the main love in my life, there are so many things that fill me with an unexplainable joy. And as a result, I have decided to dedicate my Impact Project to exploring these potential careers further, starting with a short film/web-series/play.
Introducing: taxtidermists&nostalgia.
The idea for this short film/web-series/play came to me when I was in one of my favourite places; sitting in the magnolia trees in Albert Park, roughly around mid-to-late 2013. At the time, I just entertained the idea, drawing sketches of the three main characters as I saw them in my mind. I also wrote two short scenes, but looking back on them now (while they gave me the inspiration to continue with this project), they are not a good representation of my skills as a writer/director, and subsequently will never see the light of day. I am pleased to say, however, that my talents have improved somewhat since then (at least, I hope they have), and I look forward to updating this blog over the next year, as I go about bringing my ideas to life.
Love,
Spinach
