A polymath person is a person of wide knowledge or learning, someone who has a wide skill set. Therefore a polymath performer would be someone who is able to have some education and skill from different genres within the arts, for example being able to sing, dance and act. By taking part in 'Hamelin' at Ashcroft, we are allowing ourselves to learn about different things we may not do in our strand. For example we would never have a chance to work with Rob on songs written for this particular musical, or even be part of a musical in Theatre. That's why the rehearsal process for 'Hamelin' was so interesting, and different to our usual method in 'Theatre'.
The same with CAP (Community Arts Practice) we get a chance to run workshops for children in our local community, during which we can learn new skills that we may not have realised we had. It's such a rewarding experience to work with the children who will come to see our performance, and inspire them.
Overall this term at Brit has helped us so much, in learning new skills, and gaining experience for the future. We have taken part in something we can include in personal statements because of the skills we have gained and developed. I believe we have learned different vocal, and physical warm ups that we didn't know we had before, which also can help us before future auditions, and rehearsals.
