#Drama school

[justanotherprettyapollodevotee]

an average day with Apollo

me: gosh, i’m feeling so unmotivated and self-conscious right now. i’ll never be good enough to do musical theatre, maybe i should give up on my dreams of performing and just do something i hate for money

Apollo: NOT ON MY WATCH (present for my audition that i dedicated to him, now I’m in the top 5 choices for BOTH female leads in the end of year show)

me: nvm i’m gonna keep performing i love you <3

in other words i literally cannot explain how much i adore Apollo and how grateful i am that he’s with me every step of the way - and knows how to kick me back into gear when life is shitty 💛🧡

Child actors, employed with increasing frequency onstage and in radio, had a drama school of their own in the 1930s. The Juvenile Theatre of Art trained them and gave them an opportunity to act in repertory company at Carnegie Hall. It produced four plays in the 1937-38 season for paid audiences. This was the stage door on January 21, 1938.

To Rodenburg’s astonishment, teaching colleagues refused to let her watch their classes. While she is a renowned authority on Shakespeare and classical theatrical texts, she sensed that they do not even “believe in Shakespeare”. She also heard from students that other teachers were not pushing them to excel, instead telling them: “Don’t worry if you can’t do it. Just lie on the floor for a bit.”

Rowan’s drama school graduation piece from 2005. Someone posted it in the squad.

I thought this was quite well done, buuuuuut TRIGGER WARNING! The "touchy subject" is child abuse. He's just falsely accused of it, but still.

Theatre Playground vs Straight Acting

@maryxschuyler the Stella to my Blanche 💞

Martin said we couldn't post videos on socials but he said nothing about pictures also I think Tumblr doesn't count as it is simply a deep dark void so it should be fine

Also peep the violin wrist I don't think I'll ever do anything better than that in my life icl.

methods of inspiration when enhancing your being to become: Doctor's edition

(it's a mode of being when you want to quintessentially, beat the living shit out of the actor who did you wrong because 'who you look up to' is actually the opposite)

William Hartnell (1st Doctor): you really do want to say that he walks like a gentleman who knew how to drive a Nissan Micra and make it look sexy as hell, like he glamourized your nan and he made you look good. so take the piss out of him by you outsmarting the viewer by teleporting them into a condescending Jesus storyline and make it your fault, cuz that is how the show started out.

Patrick Troughton (2nd Doctor): you will never make sense of things so easily, so why not act like your own best friend, heck he can even talk to you like you were not there, so why are you typing this and making fun.. oh... you're quite the actor that made a heart look too damn good that you can actually persuade the view.. no... you make fun of you... no... you make.. no.. you.. no. you.. basically you don't have to do anything but to make love by making love become love.. everybody's hell is putting something on screens for the viewer that shouldn't even be there except that you were not there for yourself, the lonely doctor was apparently once the most demonised heart in the planet. he was never even moral,,, he was a Judas so smarter than never, it's best to severely hate humanity but for the sake of your own time, become a villain. become that guy. be the asshole to take back what you.. just do it because you actually have a shit to give and you would just be with your wife dogging her for the rest of your life. camera is just a fuckery of all the people you hate.

Jon Pertwee (3rd Doctor): he doesn't come to life. he a miracle but you're the miracle to meet no one. just make fun of him in every single way by watching his episodes backwards and spot any mistakes that he made, chances are that he may fix them but he physically can't cuz time of the 3rd Doctor went physically past and you're telling a dead man to get back up from the grave and do something he can't do, like think of what dead people can't do and do that. he's not even there to 'fix it' for you or what else can he do

Tom Baker (4th Doctor): he hates actually fucking up the timeline. like he's alive and historically accurate to doing but he appreciates the living shit out of everything, make his ego go by telling him what his generation doesn't have and imply physical laws of existence to the world become, he knows the time in his hands is short and he also knows that regards to wifi and the future will not be there for him in the next 10 years, take it back and make it so that he will not live to see you because the man knows how so make him look too damn inferior for him to make sense of 'nothing'. reduce the man to atoms and make it your life

Peter Davison (5th Doctor): you can't take it back. he needs to be rectified. the actor (i feel deathly sorry for him) cannot go back to the world he really wanted, so take back Gallifrey by looking up the companions lives and destroying theirs cuz they are more heartbroken but heartbreakers to you than they are, the show went to the companions lives than it did for the Doctor cuz he is the guide, no. he made the companions, he was a role model. he did not just do, he made to break, that's why he wore celery and patiently played his part like a cricketer. make his companions lives hell cuz they aint better than u.

Colin Baker (6th Doctor): this guy has vengeance but it's like a wakeup call cuz uncannily, the man doesn't see. so it's best to give him a tour of your own living room like he was going to enter a new world because he's a lot like Ariel from the little mermaid discovering what her life is like on land before meeting Prince Eric.

Sylvester McCoy (7th Doctor): he doesn't want you to open the page of the book you're holding in your hand cuz the man hates to think when he's more doing but laughs at you for not doing it because that's where you get your ideas from, like who the fck does he think he is, like even scarily similar to your life, make new stories cuz in every way, he is the ?question mark? that solves itself, he likes to fondle with these things but hates it when new problems surface because he will question the show itself to the fault as the Doctor, he will never quit the role so give him too much problems for the man itself to retire in a grave. he likes to leave it too sharply to know he'll be happy if a man did it very much less for a woman to type all this up to make bad men realise they have a heart. he a mans man but a womans nobody.

Paul McGann (8th Doctor): you won't show up. you won't actually give in. he is the pinnacle of show but hated himself for it, he'd expect a big fat movie and walk.. no. no. no. the man hasn't got a question to dignify except that time is laid out for a man physically so you're not reviving him... and so where his legacy went... after years... he lies in the written language. he doesn't lie in oxygen nor thin air,,, he makes a man question his sexuality much more than a woman can say 'inshaa Allah'. i'm a Muslim woman writing this as a layout for wannabe actors to gain courage to be in a TV show that never expired out of time but kept to date all because he wanted to have sex. sex. what is sex like to you because sex is creation so is writing... outsmart him by forgiving him for the political shit show and go for where it hurts, write like the last time because writing is being, fuck your own heart like you do with all those written messages to a lover you'll never have, what will she/he think of you

Christopher Eccleston (9th Doctor): you have to forget who you are, cuz anger is actually terrifying but the rebirth of it comes with a solid vengeance against God with a truthful reason and that's sincerity, you have had a powerful reason to act because in some way, you were belittled too far and it actually wounded you because of why you act, you don't need a qualification in being when society needs you to actually give into some academic qualification that resulted you in actually being pissed off so you don't need to BBC to justify your reasons to live because who the fuck do they think they are, they got no business in interfering in your life like that of which you want and take it away from you and giving you expectations in working a fucking camera and you have deep family problems that are preventing you from actually buying a camera or having a lack of confidence in directing because the education system does not benefit people that do need it, like the ones who are being bullied.. no. you're being bullied by the higher class twats not actually doing anything to sustain the worldly affairs given to the lower class because the entire world needs to break out of the pyramid scheme because it doesn't fucking exist, outsmart Eccleston by actually fucking your life up for the right people and that is one per every heart there is, he may have had his chance to see it but the story is never over. he may come back but he is not even alone, not in his society, not in yours because he fought for your rights to live by conveniently being the guy everyone wants around because a job can never do you justice except a heart that needed you most.

David Tennant (10th Doctor): he doesn't actually see you or else he would have saved you straight away, he doesn't like you and he doesn't want anything to do with you because you're not his heart, he lives in fiction sincerely and he doesn't like the way you think because it is you who thought of all the aliens he was constantly fighting because he actually wanted to have sex. that's his downfall. he's a pretty bastard trapped in his own petty cycle cuz he is the only Doctor not aware that he's being watched by millions every Saturday night. trap him by setting him up on a downfall he will never escape. reality. he hates not actually receiving attention in real life because in every single way, he is not him. show him up by using your social influence on doing what he could have done in every single way, David is a twat.

Okay this will seem absolutely random and very splainy but since I see this often in fandom and splaining people is literally my job:

People are often super surprised so many actors can dance, sing, or do things like sword fighting (you know, the stunt version), either very well or at least have it listed on their agency pages. All of these things are part of classical actor‘s training. Obviously not everyone has gone to acting/drama school but especially stage training includes all of this as part of a regular multi-year curriculum.

Dancing is usually basic ballroom dancing, but also sometimes ballet or modern. Singing, too, not for like musical level (that‘s a different specialized degree), but basic hitting notes/carrying a tune thing (if you can‘t do it you will probably not even get into a drama school, it‘s part of auditions). And yeah stage combat is still in it, too, quite often. Gotta be able to do all that Shakespeare nonsense. Anyway, I‘m sure most of you know, if you didn‘t, you‘re welcome.

(Also doesn‘t mean everyone who completed a degree is automatically a great actor or that people who didn‘t are bad obviously but when people list some of these skills it‘s very likely they went through professional training somewhere).

y’all i study musical theatre (praise Apollo and the song he gave me to share) and i’ve just found out my end of year show is footloose. FOOTLOOSE. i’m honestly fuming 😭 but at least i have an excuse to sing some upbeat 80s pop for Apollo and call it rehearsals 🫡

If We Were Villains - Shakespeare Has Never Looked So Good

If We Were Villains by M.L. Rio has been big on TikTok for years now, especially within the Dark Academia sphere. This massive cult following and the short-form content style of TikTok compounded to make me hesitant and outright avoidant of this book. I have tried other Dark Academia favourites TikTok recommended and have been disappointed so when I did decide to pick If We Were Villains up I…

did a shakespeare workshop yesterday and played iago for a fraction of a scene which was so much fun i can't imagine what it was like for sacha dhawan to play the master for so long

His dad doesn't sound great, tbh. Even when he talks about key milestones in his life, Guy seems to have been the one there for him - e.g. paying for him to audition for drama school and staying with him in London during. Shouldn't that be things your dad does for you?

Probs why he doesn't invite him to anything loool

I think he said he got money from four people for those auditions: Tina, Guy, his auntie, and David. So yeah, that bare minimum he did do, but I doubt much more than that. And yes, Guy was for sure the one who went down to London with him, not David. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Back in early drama school days Geoffrey Rush and Mel Gibson were schoolmates and roomies together! Mel also played Romeo to Judy Davis’ Juliet!
