Catch Up

 Feel like I haven't blogged in ages and that's probably because I haven't! so there we go! thought I'd do a catch up blog on everything I've been looking into. 

Within my research of literature I found 4 main areas around the topic of mental health in performing, these were education, medical professionals, perfomers themselves and societal lens. I therefore used my literature review to explore these 4 areas, and to compare and contrast what others had said around those topics. What I found was that barely anyone had looked into the effects on mental health specifically in musical theatre and that there had been some research done into the intolerance of uncertainty but not extensively. I've therefore I THINK! come to my inquiry title...I THINK. 

Please tell me what you think to it, or whether it can be phrased in a better way! <3

'When faced with the uncertainty of work in Musical Theatre, do performers have an increase in anxiety and stress?'

OR

'Is a performer's mental health impacted when faced with the uncertainty of work in Musical Theatre, specifically looking into anxiety and stress'


something along those lines anyway! 


I've now started my proposal and am finding I write about 100 words and then my brain goes to pot! I'm just going to take it ONE TINY SECTION at a time! and hopefully I'll get through it haha! 

Short but sweet blog for a Thursday morning.
