And on the lack of acting class freshman year…

While I LOVE LOVE LOVE my acting class now and am so happy to be taking it at last, I can honestly say I didn’t miss it that much last year. All three of the required classes (Theatre in Context, Voice for Performance, and Analysis of Performance) require some performance, and thanks again to student theatre, I was definitely kept busy and given some chances to act. In fact, alot of what I learned on my own and from other students last year has informed some of the work I do in Acting and has ultimately helped me to get more out of it. And of course, I was still taking voice and dance classes all last year, and even a circus class during the spring quarter, so I still got a chance to get on my feet during the day. :)

On another note, I also love all the opportunities for different forms of theatre both at NU and in the area. From circus class in Evanston, to Creative Drama, Children’s Theatre, Storytelling and Performance Studies classes at school, there’s an amazing spectrum of ‘theatrical offerings’.
