I
I'm on a Performing Arts course, in my last of two years now so I'll be leaving in a couple of weeks. I'm going on to do a two year dance course so I can get more dance training but in my second year of that course I'm going to be applying for some of the top Musical Theatre colleges in England such as Laine Theatre Arts, Bird College, Urdang Academy etc. so hopefully after five years I'll be touring with professional companies such as David Ian Productions or in a West End show. My favourite musical is Flashdance the Musical and I'd love the chance to play the lead role in Flashdance which is Alex Owens - I've seen Flashdance three times by the way, the closing night was last night and I saw it - Amazing! The problem is that theres swearing in scripts such as Flashdance and Alex swears a bit - not thousands of times but you know what I mean. This year we did Jack The Ripper at college and that had quite a bit of swearing in it and I was asked to read in for people when people werent there as I was stage management but as I don't swear when I got to the lines with swearing in them I'd really wonder what to do, I didn't want to get into trouble for not doing my job properly but also I didn't want to swear so I always end up trying to find an alternative word that isn't swearing. The one thing I don't want if I make it is to get an amazing role like Alex Owens and get fired because I won't swear but I don't want to swear. What would you do in this situation?
