Kiara's Story

My passion is Theater.

I discovered my passion for theater when I was a child and was invited to watch a play called "The Wiz" at my sister's school. I was intrigued by the actors ability to play a part well and stay in character. I remember thinking, "How can they go up there and be a entirely different person?" They were able to completely capture their character's feelings and emotions. I also loved how the audience reacted to their performance. I want to be able to perform in a way that inspires and entertains audience members.

Attending UConn Pre-College Summer: Dramatic Arts &Theater will help me explore my passion because I feel that attending this program will give me that extra push and courage I need to be able to act and achieve my dream. I think that this program will help me explore strengths and weaknesses that I did not know I have. Furthermore this program will guide me in the right direction and teach me not only how to act but also how to collaborate with others and live in a different type of lifestyle than I am used to.
