Drama: What It Is Over the past weeks we have been talking about what drama is. We have talked about acting, and being an ensemble. What we haven't talked about is what drama is to us individually. So without further ado I present what drama is to me. I come from a culture where you are one of to things: a nerd or an athlete. But what happens if your neither? Then your an outcast, a freak, a mistake. That's where I fall in. I'm not super athletic nor am I exceptionally smart so a freak it is and I freak I was. My family didn't accept me nor does it now. I felt so alone, so misguided, so depressed until I discovered drama. When I first stepped on the stage I was scared, I was afraid. I was afraid of being judged like I had been all my #life. But the students and members of drama accepted me and embraced me. Which was scary as hell because I was so new to the feeling of belonging. Through drama I grew. Not only as an actor but also as a person. I no longer was afraid of what others thought of me. No longer did I walk on pins and needles to try to impress the people not watching. No longer, did I feel like an outcast.
