It seems as though my heart has fallen even further into love with theatre once again. Tonight, I was lucky enough to obtain a complimentary ticket to a sold out show, not to mention the final showing, of Hedda at the Platform Theatre in the University of the Arts London. It felt meant to be, my being there. The performance was brilliant, and the reimagined version of the Henrik Ibsen classic Hedda Gabler was fascinating. I’ve not read the original, but I have worked with Ibsen text previously. I truly fancy his writing. It is human life, conversation, experience. It is real. And, the script performed at UAL, a 21-st century version, held true to the ever so known and historical realism of Ibsen’s time. Another point of my evening was to finally see UAL’s Central Saint Martin’s campus with my own eyes. I was worried this might happen, but I fell in love. I could picture myself studying, working, playing in the theatre, wandering the space there. Pursuing a MA in Acting is a dream I have, and the Drama Centre London at UAL has been on my radar since before I moved to London. After being there, tonight, seeing the show, walking on the campus, and experiencing the brilliant vibes, I felt at home. The future cannot be known to any, but I do know that I can choose to follow my dreams.
