Starting Module 2 and wondering!

 So here we go again! We had our 'Welcome Back' Zoom last Friday and Saturday and I felt a lot more at ease than I did starting module one. During the course of module one I started to get used to the idea that this isn't a course that deals in 'yes' and 'no', black or white answers. I also got used to the workload and having to study again, something I hadn't done in a while! I also learnt completely new things like how to cite in my essay. This knowledge and having the BAPP community here for support has made entering this new module a much less stressful process. 

I thought I'd dive right in and say one of my 'wonders' out loud and see what people think. Firstly, I apologise if I don't explain this well or concisely, it might sound like gibberish at the moment! In the handbook it asks us to think about 'little wonders' within our practice. This isn't a little wonder really but I do wonder it. I wonder how performers manage to find a balance between day work, performance work, classes/workshops/any extra creative endeavours and their life/relationships/health. Oh and stay sane to boot! How on earth does this actually work? Add to this that most performers migrate to large cities to do what they love (London, NY, L.A., etc etc) and have huge rents to pay. Not a lot of money left over for watching theatre, new headshots, classes, casting website memberships, showreels, voice reels etc. Trying to be a performer is no easy task and I wonder if anyone thinks about this too?

This may not be inquiry topic material, or maybe it will be but that's the first thing that popped in my head whilst reading the handbook. Let me know what you think! x
