This is mine:
I have experienced many things in my life so far. At college I’ve studied varied subjects, English, Psychology, Drama, German, Maths and currently Dance. All of these have contributed to my life on and off the stage, but through all of these subjects has been my love and desire to perform. I strongly believe that doing something related to but not involving one’s normal activity, helps one to appreciate it more. It is a very good thing for me therefore to have been a stage hand, assistant lighting technician and stage manager in a local theatre, as well as having performed there numerous times. Also I have written (and had published) poetry, as well as having won prizes for reciting it at the county and one international music festival. I have learned through working with different people many, (a very basic example, musical theatre and straight plays.) I have worked with several local companies, (e.g. Clean Slate and Young Generation;) on many different shows (The Importance of Being Earnest and Honk!;) with both major and minor roles (Algernon Moncrieff and Bullfrog;) sometimes rehearsing for and/or performing up to five at once! Thus I have learnt about many things in the last five years, (over which I have done at least one large amateur (not school) production per year,) from basic things like energy to more subtle things like idiosyncrasy. I am currently passing on what I have learned by directing my first show, (as well as preparing to perform in another of course!) Now though I am hungry to learn more, and at a different level.
But then, I am applying to theatre school and they have different criteria!
