looking back to enrolment week

Enrolment Week 
Of course I was nervous. Looking back at my notes I had written “voice”, “self scripted” and “physicality”.  I wasn't sure if I had any voice, any words or any physical presence!
 
I had done my homework and read Selina Thompson’s, ‘salt’ and had been very impressed. I wondered if I would have wanted to sit at the front and when I was researching reviews of the show I found one with a reference to Josette Bushell-Mingo’s show, Nina.  I had worked with her at the very beginning of her career when she showed poise, guts and professionalism beyond her age.  Selina Thompson seemed to have a similar strength. I was gutted to realise that I would have to miss the workshop that she would lead.

I was reminded of ‘woke’ at BAC, Apphia Campbell’s show that had convinced me that Queen Mary was the right place to study.

​I was still really,really scared.
