What might you find here?

Hi.
My name is Emily Rose Joyce Crosby.
I am a studying actress in my third year of university doing a degree entitled: Professional Studies (Performing Arts).
It's pretty cool. It's basically training me to become a freelance, self employed individual within the creative industry.
I have a lot of free reign over the content of my course this year and I am moving towards a much clearer vision of what kind of career I want to develop.
I am vegan, relatively new, just over a year in and it has been super enlightening.
I have been diagnosed with depression and bulimia and we (doctors and I) are still figuring out the rest.
My personal choices, beliefs and experiences impact heavily upon my creative choices and the subject matter of most of the performance work I want to do centers around the ideas of mental health and ethical issues, predominantly animal rights.

I've (kind of reluctantly) gotten rid of all the previous content from this blog and am wiping the slate clean so to speak. This blog space has now found itself being the focal place where I shall spill my guts about everything to do with what I want to do... which at the moment looks to be ...

Ethical campaigning through the medium of performance art.

Hopefully this place may become a useful resource to some, containing:
- Quotes and references
- Reviews/recommendations (I like films - weird disturbing shit mostly)
- Advice? Possibly? May take the form of moaning...
- This is my place to set myself goals, to track my progression and development as an individual as well as a professional so it is likely my personal experiences will find their way into this too. I have found that, despite the whole requirement for actors to 'leave their problems at the door', it's kinda' easier said than done - so yahhhhh

I'll leave ya with this [look down] as I am currently hiding in the corner of a pub reading (Art and Agenda - Political Art and Activism by noone apparently, so that will be great when I need to reference this) and doing uni work. Just found the quote below and am gonna buy the book (when I get paid, oh wahhh, woe be me).


“The assumption that animals are without rights and the illusion that our treatment of them has no moral significance is a positively outrageous example of Western crudity and barbarity. Universal compassion is the only guarantee of morality.”
― Arthur Schopenhauer, The Basis of Morality


Peace
Emily
