Child Labour in the Victorian Era The time of child labour in the Victorian era was a cruel unforgiving time, but allowed many industries to flourish such as the workhouses referenced in the play “A Christmas Carol” when Scrooge and the solicitor and talking and they say   "And the Union workhouses?" demanded Scrooge. "Are they still in operation?" "They are. Still," returned the gentleman, "I wish I could say they were not." ( The front of a Victorian workhouse ) This shows that regardless of the time of year (Christmas) the main priority of the workhouse was to stay active and make money. The people who worked in them were usually very poor, in debt, orphans or people who were unemployed, this means that the workhouse allowed you to have a place to stay which provided you with food and clothing, but meant you were subject to working however long the owners of the workhouse decided. The rules were not any different for children; th...

Higher Education There are many choices into further education that one could pursue such as drama schools, university courses, foundations courses etc. But there are also many pros and a con when pursuing further education; below is a table of just some of the examples of both sides: Pros of further education Cons of further education Human Capital - Certain jobs will require a Master’s or PhD. If you have an idea of what you want to do after you stop studying (and with rational expectations you should appreciate that this point will eventually come) find out which qualifications you need to do it. Fees - These are not limited by the government and can vary substantially. Typically the fees for Master’s courses are much higher than for PhDs each year. Fees are also highly variable. Some will be as ‘cheap’ as £3,000/year while others will be far higher than this, with the most expensive fees in excess of £15,000/year. Signal...

To begin with, as class we looked at the various units that we would be covering over the year such as: Unit 9 A Christmas Carol Unit 10 UCAS and Monologue Unit 11 Essay Unit 12 Final Performance After looking through the units together we spoke further about what we have to do and how long we have to do it. We looked at the unit 11 essay which we need to write 1500 words on something in the performing arts industry which interests us. We also spoke about UCAS and the courses that we could choose and the places where we would choose to study. Then to finish we spoke about the contemporary monologue that we would have to perform which has to be from a published play written after 1980. We also created a timeline that we would follow through the term that would require to do certain things by certain deadlines, like being completely off script by the end of October. (This is our timeline) Monologue Preparation We have to choose a monologue to ...

Monologue Preparation We have to choose a monologue to perform along side the Shakespeare monologue that we and performed earlier in the year. I chose to do Robert's Monologue from Betrayal which was written on 15th December 1978 by Harold Pinter.  I chose this play because I feel the piece that I am performing is very powerful if performed correctly. We also talked about what was required with the monologues   that usually the modern monologue has to be from a play published after 1980 and that the other monologue must be from play written by Shakespeare. I decided to go with Romeo's Monologue from Romeo and Juliet. I believe I performed Robert's monologue very well, it was a speech I have much confidence with as I have spent a lot of time rehearsing it in my free time, the feedback I got was incredibly positive, I was told I had had performed the character extremely well and that he could tell it was something I was confident with, he said that reflec...
