Shakespeare for Girls: The Blog

There are no coincidences…

Coincidentally, Amelia just brushed what I thought of to blog on this week: Finding your voice.  Shakespeare found his — made up words, a funny rhyming rhythm and plays that we can all relate to.  I think it’s important to find a voice; your voice.   I don’t mean this in the literal sense. Most of us have been blessed with working vocal cords and all the mechanisims to make them vibrate.  I mean a way to express your thoughts.  Your opinions.  Your own creativity.  Some people are attracted to the solitude and process of writing.  Some love the light of the stage.  Some enjoy the physical outlet of sport or sculpture.  Judging by the fact you’re reading this post, you’re at least somewhat attracted to theatre as your voice.  Use TVP and the theatre as an opportunity to learn and let your creative juices flow.  Be bold and let this be a way for you to create something. My own personal experience has shown me that this outlet can change and grow.  It used to be I couldn’t imagine a life without a play or rehearsal schedule.   Now I can’t imagine one where I don’t get to show that opportunity to others.  Or cook a delicious veggie dinner and practice yoga.   So now is the time to find what you have to say.  I’d certainly love to hear you – and so would TVP.   So that’s a few thoughts for you to think on. :)    Thoughtfully,           Alex
