The First Blog... God it's late

Well this is my first blog. I should have got this done ages ago since I technically started in September but have resorted to deferring on countless occasions. My reasons for doing the course were really to get a wider understanding of professional practice and also to get another notch on my belt. 

In the future I hope to go into writing and / or voice acting. The two aren’t the most stable of professions however, and may prove fruitless. So getting something behind you that will force you to get a deeper understanding of the professional world on the whole can’t be a bad thing. I am gradually coming to the conclusion that for my final project I want to look at how older members of the community can really come out of their shells through the use of theater. I study at Chickenshed, a theater company open to everyone and through a series of workshops and a vocal group they have held I’ve been looking at what really does get the most out of older people and how open they are to these activities. I’ll write more about these sessions in my next blog but thought I’d better put this one up as a brief intro.
