Abstract: "I've wanted to be a musical theatre performer since I was a little girl. I loved to sing and dance and play pretend , and being able to study what I love is an utter blessing. I've learned that in order to accomplish what I dream of , being a performer takes so much more than just singing or dancing. There's a unique process each performer must develop in order to be successful. It varies from individual to individual , and it is crucial to understanding who we each are as artists. This project where I develop and direct a performance entitled Home: Night of Musical Theatre as well as perform in an ECU theatrical production (Hands on a Hardbody) is meant to help provide clarity towards that idea and gaining a better insight into the processes that actors develop and use in their line of work , as well as show a personal growth and take-away from two different sides of the theatrical ""table€: director and performer."
