Greek Personal Narrative

Mythology is defined as the collection of myths belonging to a particular culture or religion. There are many different mythologies worldwide such as Greek, Norse, Japanese, Irish, and Egyptian. Each of these mythos has its own unique stories and backgrounds but some have features that tie them together. An example of this is Greek and Egyptian mythology. These mythologies have similar traits while maintaining individuality.

Before I even entered high school, I obtained a love of theater and the performing arts. I have been singing and acting since I was nine, as well as on and off dancing since three. Taking classes at a local theater really introduced me to this interest of mine. When I entered high school, an injury kept me from doing shows. But now I graduate with nine high school shows under my belt, as well as being in multiple community theater productions. Being a part of these shows made me feel a strong sense of belonging, and whether I was an ensemble or lead

I saw my first Broadway show at only seven years old and have seen over ten more since then, due to the fact I live only two hours away from New York City by train. I always enjoyed theatre, but I didn’t grow the deep love I have for it now until acting became a career option. I spent a week of the summer completely in the business world of theatre and came out knowing I had to be an actress. I dived into all things Broadway, bought as many albums as I could, watched as many interviews as possible, saved up to see more shows, but even with all of this love for

As a shy, reserved student, I found myself blossoming through the stage. I fell in love with the stage and auditioned for the middle school's play, A Christmas Carol. Fortunately, I was casted in the performance. I loved the experience so much that I auditioned for the next year's play and musical and got a part in those as well. The more time I spent on stage, the more confident I became. I felt like the stage was where I belonged. I had a passion for theater that began to distinguish like a flame when I entered high school.

An actor must develop a full sense of his own identity. This means that the actor is not limited to their usual character, he wants to dig himself out of character within the subconscious, even though he himself does not recognize and repulse this character. Perhaps this character is deep inside the dark side of the actor; perhaps it only appears when actors stay with their family; perhaps this character is produced in daily life by the subtle influence of others arising. Whether the characters suit actor's behavior in daily life or not, these character can be developed to expand the range of actors. Moreover, reading biographies and histories and putting themselves in roles who are described in books promote the growth of actor

Have you ever seen the television series Greek? It is full of sex, drugs, and alcohol; the three main elements that make up a typical frat boy or sorority girl’s life. Students involved in Greek life are always throwing wild parties and drinking until they pass out, getting involved in the drama of who slept with whose boyfriend, sending their pledges on crazy tasks in the middle of the night, and never seeming to take any responsibility. However, there is only one thing missing from this hit series; the truth. Greek life is not how it appears on television, my sorority embodies much more than that. Tri Sigma establishes meaningful friendships, builds character, and promotes community involvement.

I never took myself as much of an actress, even though I chose the role. Every day, I go in the dressing room and put on my costume. My hair and makeup were done, and it’s show time. The bright spotlight comes directly onto me. The curtains open and it begins. I give the performance of a lifetime. It’s amazing how much the audience believes the story they’re being told. They’re gullible, but they’re not dumb. They know when the show goes sideways and that’s when they begin to ask questions. As always, I reassure them nothing is wrong, and the act is a hit. The curtains close, I return to my dressing room, and I take off the costume. I wish I could give the role back.

I joined crew and painted sets, worked the curtains, helped the prop master, and was a stage hand. I did not audition until the fall of my junior year for A Christmas Carol. I received the part of the Ghost of Christmas Future and caroler. Then in the spring I auditioned and was given the role of Emily Parrish in Phantom of the Soap Opera the Musical. I also started auditioning for shows at Muncie Civic Theatre and got into The Little Mermaid Jr. and Once on this Island Jr. both in which I was chorus. Each time I stepped on that stage I experienced the same thrill. The same rush of jittery ecstasy that I experienced for Romeo and Juliet. I was addicted.

"It's it obvious?" Nikki asked. "I want us to do a sexy photo shoot. It's not kinky. But I'd figure it would spice things up. Do you know how to take professional photos?"

The strengths and weaknesses of a committed actor can be paradoxical. For this area I chose to consult with an acting colleague of 17 years. I thought it was necessary to have an objective perspective to honestly describe what has been observed from someone that knows me, personally. The following paragraph from a close friend and veteran actor explains this quandary in her description of me.

I believe that to be able to even begin to have thoughts about psychic powers, energy

In our site specific composition, our movements emerged based on the characters we had developed. The idea of our piece was to give the audience a behind the scenes look at what happens backstage, and to illuminate the difference between the onstage mask of perfection and the honest mess that is us before we go onstage. Our individual characters came from different ways people deal with stressed, nervous energy, and motivated much of our movements, particularly in the beginning. My movements were inspired by meditation or yoga as my character was supposed to be trying to calm myself down and refocus my energy. Cara and Erika’s character channeled their nervous energies into giggling and goofing around, and so their movements reflected that

Being introduced to my character when starting a new show, getting to read through their lines and lyrics for the first time, trying to figure out how they fit me, and how I fit them is an absolutely lovely experience. A prime example of this was when I was cast as Sally Brown in "You're a Good Man Charlie Brown". It was extremely exciting to be given a two-dimensional character that I had seen in comic strips and Christmas specials since I was young and try to bring her to life in my own way as a three-dimensional, little girl. The

As I march into my room, my desk is empty, ready to be used, and my laptop on the side ready to be furiously typed on. Around those objects are all the memoirs of my life from my worldwide travels. As I steadily approach my seat, my eyes meet the large bronze, medium silver, and tiny gold medals from my judo tournaments in elementary school. Those tournament memories were gradually fading from my hippocampus ever since I vacated my childhood home, France. As the light from the window slowly soften, my eyes shift onto the academic medals such as the Dean’s scholastic award which required endless efforts for a student in 11th grade that had to conquer the American culture and English language within 5 years whilst others did for more than a
