In the first week of out performace comms we had a guest speaker called Gary Henderson. Gary was a very interesting presenter, he was clear and informative about his background withen peroforming. He gave us a excersize to complete, we had to write down a word that came to our mind for every letter of the alphabet then he asked us to narrow it down to five then wrtie a headline for each one. I found this practice fun and engaging. Another guest speaker was Jenifer ward whom is the prisident of The Actors Equity here in New Zealand. I found her lecture a bit more intresting compared to Gary’s as I personally feel like her background was more realatble for young actors in New Zealand, she had started from a very young age in plays and always had support from her family and friends. A quote I quite enjoyed was: Versitility is key to have a caraer as an actor in NZ”, and that ” you must have thick skin”. Jenifer Ward was very well known and were involved in many aspects in her carer but on the other hand Gary was not.
Overall, i throughly enjoyed both actors lectures a dn belive that eveyones cararer journey deserves to be heard wither they are succesful or not.
Welcome to my exciting life
