Task One, My Cv re-written

My name Is Georgie Bird, I am 22yrs old, and graduated from the Italia Conti Academy of Theatre Arts Ltd. earlier this year. Before training at Conti's I took part in as many shows as possible and took on as many different hobbies and skills as I could fit in. I obtained a Brown belt in Karate, got my grade 5 in piano and a similar standard of Violin, achieved intermediate ISTD ballet, Gold ISTD Jazz, grade 6 ISTD National and grade 6 ISTD Tap. I have a full UK driving license and recently went solo flying K13 glider planes. I played 'Millie' in the AVYT production of 'Thoroughly modern Millie', Angel City 5 of AVYT'S 'City of Angels', took the role of 'Narrator' in the Musical Kidz production of 'Joseph' and performed on stage with top tribute band 'Think Floyd'. I was also the lead vocals of a full Jazz band, Function band, and 80's tribute band.

Italia Conti helped to mould me as a performer and during my time there I also obtained my stage combat unarmed and single sword award, and recorded backing vocals for an up and coming album soon to be released on Itunes. I also took the role of Maggie in 'A chorus line' and the Friar Sister Laurence) and Prince (Queen) Escalus in 'Romeo and Juliet' with the Complete works Theatre company.
Towards the end of my training, I spent 3 months working as a character and parade performer at Disney Land Paris, where I met people from all walks of life.
I am currently living in London and auditioning as much as possible, whilst keeping my performance skills current and topping up my Level 6 Diploma with the BAPP course.

 

The tasks...

I have just got back from work, and I decided (as I tend to work better at night) to have a peek at what everyone else is doing. I dont know about everyone else but I still feel like I'm lost in a lot of computer blurb. Any way I shall not be deterred. After having a look at Ellis Higgins' blogg and Melanie Brown's, I can see they seem to have the hang of it. So tomoro, I will begins the tasks and try and get on top of all the different areas of the module. Wish me luck!

A chorus of hopefuls...

Like hundreds of others, a few days ago I spent my morning sitting on the steps of the Palladium waiting for the 'Chorus Line' audition. A big waste of time?... yes. But an experience none the less. To even attempt a clean double pirrouette in front of the original Connie Wong and David Grindrod was wishful thinking at best. I have to say it was a strange experience, the audition was just like being in the musical, all the many hopefuls lined up under the bright lights with our bags at the side of the stage waiting for us to totter out of the spotlight, embarrassed by a poor demonstration of 'clean' double turn. Did anyone make it through? Or are we right in thinking that it was probably already cast before the open call even happened...

the dreaded first Blog...

I think this is my first blog. And I don't mean I am unsure as to whether I have written one before, I haven't. What I do mean however, is that I am unsure as to whether this is how you do it at all!
I have gone onto my profile, and started writing a post, and I'm hoping that once it is done I'll look back and there it will be written, my very first blog.

I am no technophobe, however, anything past a general browse on the internet and all the usual necessaries that go hand in hand with programmes such as Word '98 are, I think it's fair to say, fairly beyond me. That being said, as I am just beginning this course maybe I will learn more than I had intended about things that I had never even considered as relevant to my professional career.
And, now that it is out of the way, the question lies... Have I just written my first blog?
