I am feeling very overwhelmed, but excited writing my first blog and starting this degree… It has been quite a few years since I have academically challenged myself like this… However I am feeling ready for this new chapter.
Let me introduce myself….
My name is Emily Smith and I am 27 years old. ‘It’s true; there really is no business, like show business.’ Performing Arts has been my passion since a very young age and I have been fortunate enough to be a working professional performer. The perseverance, fulfilment and exhilaration felt during rehearsals and the thrill after a show, are feelings I thrive on.
I have spent the last 6 years of my life along side my fiancé, as a professional dancer/vocalist performing on Royal Caribbean International and Princess Cruise lines. My past two contracts I was promoted to Dance Captain and had the responsibility of managing the cast and ensuring that they were keeping the integrity of the shows and performing the productions to the best of their/our abilities. The combination of dancing and travel is why I honestly LOVE my job.
Unfortunately because of the Covid-19 pandemic like many other performers I have found myself out of a job and my cruising life has been put on pause, but obviously I am very eager to get back!
I professionally trained and gained my Level 6 Diploma in Professional Musical Theatre, at Laine Theatre Arts. I absolutely adored my time at Laine! I also had the opportunity to work in their Children’s department assisting and covering ballet, modern and tap whilst gaining my ISTD DDI Imperial Ballet and Modern Theatre qualifications.
I am excited to develop my knowledge and passion by furthering my eduction and gaining a BA Hons Degree.
