I read this on sunday and thought i should share it with everyone..perhaps more relevant to all those "actors" out there but its still worth a read....
YOUVE BEEN TO A PROPER SCHOOL WHEN..
Doing performing arts or Drama at your Uni...doesn't count as studying art! We're pretentious like that!
- Feeling special because you go to a school with famous alumni (e.g. Judi Dench, Ewan McGreggor etc)
- And KNOWING that one day you will be just as famous!
- The majority of students wearing ridiculously long scarfs!
- Talking about going to the theatre instead of the cinema...
- And receiving mass emails with info about the theatre and prices!
- Knowing about all or at least one of the following in depth: RP, Stanislavski, Brecht, Meyerhold, Alexander Technigue, Isadora Duncan, Matthew Bourne, and Stanislavski again...he just keeps coming back for more..
- talking about your "career"
- Knowing a good headshot when you see one!
- Being able to instantly recognise whose on what course...e.g. Musical Theatre, Stage design, Acting etc...
- Jazz hands and spirit fingers become a recurring joke from those who just don't understand!
- Watching films like 'fame' or 'centre stage' and being able to say with a smug sense of satisfaction...."It wasn't like that when I went to school...it was MUCH harder!!"
- Having classes take place in the theatre.
- Knowing the importance of black clothing
Fairly amusing...no?
