I know I kept you all in the dark about which uni I was going to but I am at University of Chester and I'm studying Drama and Theatre Studies. So for these last three weeks we have been split into groups of about fifteen and we've all been assigned different teachers. My group and I have been doing lots of work with our movement teacher and we've been learning some really interesting devising techniques that I've never explored at college.
The techniques we've visited are:
- Mirroring
- The Sphere
- Flow
- Whoosh
- Lower Centre
There are a few others we've been learning but these are examples of things we've been learning for these three weeks. I'm really looking forward to the rest of this year on my course because I am actually beginning to see and learn how completely different level 4 is at university compared to level 3 at college. I'm really looking forward to the rest of my time at university after these few weeks and I feel ready to do this degree.
But apart from the course itself, I've also joined lots of societies on campus; Drama, Dance - Contemporary and Jazz, and Swing Dancing. I've really been enjoying all of these because they're all really fun and completely up my street. Recently I performed an audition for the Drama societies Christmas show and the cast list is being posted tomorrow, which is so exciting; I'll let you guys know how that goes down.
I've been picking up Swing Dancing really quickly and I really love it. We've been learning the Lindy Hop and the Charleston which haven't been that difficult to be honest, I've really been enjoying it. I think I've finally found a style of dance that I can actually excel really far in.
Contemporary and Jazz have been a little more difficult only because I'm not used to doing them but I am determined to stick at it and improve by the end of the year. Jazz is the one I'm finding most difficult at the moment as it's like musical dancing but 10x faster.
But apart from all of the university classes and societies I've been really getting into, obviously we've got to talk about freshers. Now freshers week was full of good, bad, awkward, funny, and memorable times and it really was where all of our housemates bonded and became friends.
Fresher's week was really lovely as we all virtually spent every day together and we're all really good friends now. We went out almost every night to the on campus bar and the drinks were super cheap; £1.50 for a Malibu and Coke, yes please!
But I enjoyed every moment of freshers but at the end of it I was happy for it to be over because I was tired and just wanted to get into doing lessons at uni. I've made so many close friends already and I cant wait to see what the rest of this year and the three years brings my way.
