END OF PHASE 1

Yesterday was my Bronze certificate exam at RADA, I felt like it went well, now comes the wait for the results! This marks the end of the first phase of the project. From here on in, it gets a little bit more loosely "play a day" and rather more varied as a self-study project.

My plan going forward includes a soft start this week (I have a planned break at the end of the month already) but should be fully in place to start at the beginning of April, and the new requirements are as follows.

• 3 plays read per week to include one Shakespeare/Classical.
• 1 play seen live or film adaptation per week.
• 1 other film per week seen for the first time. (should be something new at the cinema but might be an older film I just never got round to seeing)
• 1 acting class per week
• 1 choir session per week
• 1 monologue work session per week with research and feedback (some of these can be 1-on-1 EAS classes)
• 3 workout sessions per week to include one long walk and at least one Dancebase class.

I will also be continuing with the Shakespeare And His World online course, and working towards wrapping up Phase 2 in June/July with auditions for the performance class at EAS for the Autumn term, and hopefully the Silver Certificate exam if everything goes to plan.

There will be 4 phases in total, each reliant on completing the previous one, but in an ideal world, Phase 3 will be a longer session which ends with an EAS performance and the Gold certificate exam, and leads into Phase 4 being applications and auditions.
