Rhona Croker

Rhona is currently performing in the play One Man, Two Guvnors at the The National Theatre. She talked to us in detail about her career, and what she was saying was quite similar to Kims. I found it very interesting when Rhona talked to us about starting out with community projects/pieces.  I believe they would be a good stepping stone just to help you gain skills. She also talked to us a
lot about charactisation. she said that when you get a role, you have to have some instinct about the characters and the parts that you are comfortable playing. She said that from experience, she has learnt that it is also very important how the character is written and if its easily relatable, if not you try and find any similarities that you can and draw on them. She said that the theatre aspect of it, when your doing a show, you have to make it different every night, and if that is making it bigger, or finding a different objective for the character you do it, to switch it up a bit. The most interesting thing i learnt from the workshop, was how to look after yourself as an actress:

• Sleeping Well
• Eating well
• Having interesting hobbies
• Not being too disappointed after auditions

Finally, she told us that her Agent was Janey Jenkins and that having a good relationship with your agent is key, and chasing them up if its quiet.
