Terence Lee in front of Harton Theatre, SAU
This summer, honors student Terence Lee attended Drama Summer School at the Guildhall School of Music and Drama. He describes his experiences there thusly:
Warmth. Generosity. Joy. Danger. The four keys to being a good actor. This summer, I had the privilege of working with some of the most motivated and inspiring individuals, instructors as well as students.
How is it that actors, after working 9am to 5pm shifts at another job can come in to a rehearsal two hours later with so much energy and concentration? Joy. The importance of finding the joy in our work was stressed over the summer and I wholeheartedly believe in that because I have experienced it's benefits.
Apart from that, I had the privilege of watching professional actors perform on London's stages aside from meeting them after their performance for a Q&A session organized as part of the summer program.
In the broad scheme of things, acting is not a conventional career choice. However, it is indeed a tough business. The Guildhall School of Music & Drama's Drama Summer School is indeed an intensive, enlightening and beneficial program to aspiring actors as well as those who are interested in trying something new.
