This week's blog is written by Kym R Brosnan who is in her first year at ATS.
KYM:
Hi, thank you so much for taking the time to read my blog and getting to know me. My name is Kym, a first year student here at ATS and what a year it has been! It is a real honour and privilege to be at this school due to the challenges that have been presented at me, the guidance I have been given, and, perhaps most importantly, the support network from everyone involved.
Before coming to ATS, I gained my Diploma in Drama and Performance at Inverness UHI where I learned a lot about creating performance, but at ATS, I have learned the true art of acting. To reiterate what Cameron said in his blog (check it out http://artiststheatreschoolealing.blogspot.com/2019/04/cameron-corcoran.html ) I have developed a much greater understanding of performing for truth and that there is no shortcut to this. Without truth, your performance is a lie, and that is not acting. Each masterclass and rehearsal has developed this pursuit of truth, as well as teaching about other aspects of performance and introduced me to some incredible industry professionals I would not otherwise have had access to.
I am playing Professor Raya Barth in 'Gizmo'; a fascinating play about Ben, who is suffering with a form of PTSD after witnessing a horrific crime. He finds himself at the Chepthorn Medley Research Hospital for treatment and is trialling a new gadget known as GIZMO. Raya opens the play as the spokesperson for GIZMO, as she is the Project Chief Administrator and is very comfortable talking to large groups of people, press, doctors, scientists and professionals. She bookends the play by presenting an award ceremony in the final scene.
There has been so much I have learned and developed during the whole directing process, not just from my own scenes but from everyone else's as well. Acting is so much more about the words that we say, the way that we say them and the stories that we tell.
Coming to ATS has been the best decision I ever made. I have grown so much in confidence and knowledge and cannot recommend this school highly enough. You are truly made to feel part of a theatre company where your talent is supported and nurtured. So, please do come along and see our show in July; it would be lovely to see you there.
