A woman of no importance We are trying to build up life, Lady Hunstanton, on a better, truer, purer basis than life rests on here. This sounds strange to you all, no doubt. How could it sound other than strange? You rich people in England, you don't know how  you are living. How could you know? You shut out from your society the gentle and the good. You laugh at the simple and the pure. Living, as you all do, on others and by them, you sneer at self-sacrifice, and if you throw bread to the poor, it is merely to keep them quiet for a season. With all your pomp and wealth and art you don't know how to live - you don't even know that.

This way you can convey meaning to the audience. There are jokes, puns (even in death - Mercutio ''Look for me tomorrow, and you shall find me a grave man'' ), insults and sayings that if you don't deliver them properly with the right intention, then it will not be perceived well by tod...

UAL - Level 3 PaPA - Acting Pathway - Unit 1 - 4 ~Ilonka Flora Unit 3: introduction to professional acting Health and safety Ensuring the health and safety of the performer and the production is the most important part of performing arts. before acting, you must be sure that not only you and your colleagues or co-workers are safe, but also the audience and tech crew are too. Safe in general, and personally. Speaking generally I am referring to the surroundings, the performing space and stage. Before any rehearsals and activities take place, there must be someone responsible to ensure that the rehearsal/performance space is safe from any hazards. In order to 'ensure' safety and keep spaces safe, the team must be sensible and aware to stop any possible safety issues from occurring due to carelessness. The goal is to eliminate and minimise any kinds of hazards, the disadvantage is that many activities that take place within these spaces cause more pos...
