In The Beginning....

Hi.
I hope you're well.
This is my first blog post. And as this is the first, I feel I should introduce what it is i'm trying to do here.
I am an aspiring actress. A young girl currently on a gap year before hopefully making a more brutal attempt at moving forward in the industry and trying to crack the drama school code.

Don't worry- I'm not going to ask you to make any donations or Sponsor me. You're safe.

However, One thing I have noticed about the "industry", is that the work of actor's, director's and general Theatre-type people is very rarely discussed.Of course, this area has its fair share of coverage; what with articles and reviews in the papers and all over the net. But these are very rarely two-sided arguements. Usually, this just gives theatre trolls the chance to clamber out from unerneath their bridge and brashly slag off the hard work of many truly talented people due to unadulterated jealousy or various other enigmas.
If someone has a positive opinion, that positivity is enough for the individual. If someone has a negative opinion; everyone has to know. Bad news travels at a greater speed than the good.
What these poisonous old queens tend to neglect, is the choices involved with the piece;
Why did the director choose that piece? Why now? and more importantly, What does the piece say?
Well this, (fingers crossed...) is hopefully what I am going to explore through the enchanted and magical medium of this blog.
You may not like it. Infact you may hate it. Feel free to hate away. Just make sure you roll back under your bridge or into your cave to do it.
So yes, here it goes. A blog discussing the politics, ethics and of course majesty of  "The Business".
God Help me....




Oh, p.s. My name's Lou. What's your's?
