Pros and Cons of Higher Education
Higher Education in general is where the pathway of a student can be discovered. However there can be many implications that need to be considered before deciding whether to enter Higher Education or Full-Time Employment. The pros to going to Higher Education are that the experience factor to it will allow the student not only learn a range of skills but apply them to their every day lives as they will wish to pursue the career path they have chosen to take when choosing the course for University. Another pro is that they are able to gain a qualification from their experience and it can be said that University encourages independence, especially when it comes to accommodation, if taken, and financial challenges.
However, the cons to Higher Education is that the Financial side may be that it can be expensive with accommodation often being around £100+ every week with the addition of food management and other maintenance fees for the student. This can also link to those especially who live abroad. In addition, the social part of University can be a side track to the actual educational purpose of University.

Personal Details:
Name: Joseph Perejel
Address: 3 Fitzneal Street, East Acton, London, W12 0BH
Mobile/Telephone No.: 07799628811/07944772209
Email Address: smartypants2601@gmail.com
Date & Place of Birth: 26 January 1999, Hammersmith, London
Citizenship: British
Work Experience:
Some of the roles I have been in my Acting experience so far:
Sherlock - Merchant of Venice
Seymour Krelborn - Little Shop of Horrors
James Dean - Pronoun
Peter Pan - Peter Pan
Landlord - Two
The reason I want to become an actor is because it allows you to express yourself in an abstract form. In order for the character to be convincing, some part of them has to live within them, part of their personality in other words. Acting also gives you the ability to connect with other people, forming a community of people who may not know each other but can be as one family in the theatre on stage or on screen.
The first time I experienced the magic of acting, the spark that ignited to make me want to continue acting was in Year 8 whilst taking part of the school production 'Little Shop of Horrors'; I was playing Seymour. After having learning the script, the songs and rehearsals were coming to a close, the first night had hit.
As the performance began, I made my first appearance on stage and I Was absolutely terrified inside. But what I discovered is if I just let the character flow as if a part of me existed in Seymour, being nervous felt like nothing as it was not a Seymour on stage but a Joseph that emerges from the character Seymour. In addition I found that there was a strong connection between the audience and the musical. Personally that was the core reason about why I wanted to act due to the fact that no matter who you were, everyone could link and all the negativity of life can be washed away with the energy and life of acting.
In result, the first night was unforgettable. As the second night drew in I was filled with confidence and found that being yourself on stage is the best weapon against current society.
What makes an Actor?
Based on the debate we had during Wednesday’s lesson, we had discussed what we think Drama school wants and what makes an actor. We had said that experience, knowledge and consistency are just some of the few elements that make you a capable candidate at drama schools. We had then discussed our favourite actors and what made them earn that position. Names such as Leonardo Di Caprio, Johnny Depp and Will Smith were some of the most popular due to their versatility and capability to adapt to multiple roles and different genres.
This then led to the point of the discussion where whom we thought defined an actor, or more like what. For example, we had said that it was not necessary to be a trained actor over an experienced actor. Furthermore, it was discussed that some models staring in films only star in them to attract media and a wider audience attention. Factors such as being born in to an occupation of acting or being carried by one person, such as Stephan’s example can affect the reputation of that person as a whole. Considering the fact that at the start of their career may have not been their path, however, ambitions can change.

Work Experience
The school's tour for the devising piece was a good experience overall as it gave me and insight of what it takes to plan and show case a piece with a group. We had to also had to be our own director's in a sense where we had to make our own decisions when it came to solving implications. In addition, especially with my leg being in the condition that it was, the group had to adapt to it.
Another good aspect about this work experience is adapting to the working space where we had to showcase our workshop and performance. It was quite useful that we had considered the use of space in our piece so it could adapt to any space and in the space we were in, there were boxes and curtains available for use, as well as lights. The lights gave it that shock factor as when the lights went out, one actor disappeared.
For the workshop aspect, it taught us to connect with a range of different characters and with their various personalities. It taught us to pass on the experience we had when in secondary school to those who may be pursuing the same ambition as we did. Furthermore, the activities in the workshop not only connected all of us but allowed us to see what activities worked, what could have been improved and what could have been added. Overall the school's tour work experience just allowed us to explore how workshops and performances can help, support and connect all of us even if we came from different pathways.
