WEEK 17 (Silence in the Wings)

For Silence in the wings week this week, i joined Kristen’s session on Thursday morning. This week we started off as normal, sharing what we had been up to over the week, which is nice to hear from everyone. The week before, we were asked to find a monologue so we each discussed what play it was from and why we chose it. My monologue was from the play Find Me by Olwen Wymark, which is a play about how society perceived mental illness in the 70s.

After this, we played some more exercises which brought us to the end of the session. We played hot seating but with a twist, we had to act as a famous person, i acted as a reality star from made in chelsea. This was really enjoyable and it made me laugh a lot as other people in the group had to put on accents. It took a long time for everyone to guess my celebrity, i really enjoyed this week.

Each week I can feel my confidence improving, I am really happy I have attended these sessions during lockdown because at times, it is easy to become anxious and stressed but with these sessions, they really help to improve my self confidence and they are a nice distraction.
