Research
I've have taken the initiative to apply for a theatre program. This will be my chance to learn more about writing, acting and all the other work that goes in producing a live performance.
Connection. Amulya, the new intern, has put me in contact with a woman from the Hobby Center who allowed my class and a couple of others to sit in and watch "Hairspray" for free. Also, I have a good friend at Rice University who took theater courses last year and is more than willing to share information.
I am going to approach my project by first writing the entire story down; which is almost complete. Then I am going to extract parts of it that deem worthy to be performed into a play. This is how most plays start out: a story. William Shakespeare didn't just writing the parts out for Romeo, Juliet; he had to have the story written all out first before anything. Second, the play needs a theme. What's mine? It's quite simple; The theme is beauty. It's the beauty every girl processes even if they can't see it themselves. My sister grew up being teased because she was always "slightly overweight" and it led to her to be an anorexic all throughout highs school until she met "a special someone" who liked her for her and not her looks.
Thank you.
