Interview Questions
How did you get into Performing Arts?
I started with dance (ballet, tap and modern) then went onto musical theatre, then drama, musical theatre and singing lessons.
What skills have you gained from performing?
Confidence as I am usually very shy.
You’ve just won a part in a show. How do you prefer to get started on it?
I would watch the musical, listen to the songs. Then learn the song lyrics and dances then let the lines come with the blocking meaning I know where to move on what lines.
