Katrina Webb
January 2021
We are delighted that Katrina Webb, our Cirencester Young Arts nominee has written to the members of our society to let us know how she is getting on. Katrina's letter will be circulated to members with the January newsletter. Here are some highlights.
Her first term at The Royal Welsh College of Music and Drama has been one of growth and varied lessons. Dance (Tap, Ballet, Street Dance & Jazz) has been enjoyable as well as Acting classes in Improvisation and Text, Spoken and Singing lessons, Voice Technique, Music Therapy, Repertoire sessions, Movement classes, Monologue sessions, Dialect classes and performance classes.
She reports great feedback from teachers especially relating to her acting classes and good progress regarding the dance aspect of the course. Katrina was excited to report that she passed her Music Theory examination with a Distinction and says ‘’I have personally noticed a huge difference in my confidence both in and out of the classroom’’.
Sadly due to Covid 19 and lockdown conditions in Cardiff, her performance opportunities were somewhat reduced but she was however able to join in the Christmas Concert held at The Royal Welsh College Dora Stoutzker Concert Hall singing in a 3-part new arrangement of Jingle Bells which was labelled as the ‘highlight of the evening’ by onlookers due to the fun and uplifting energy of the song. A really special celebration after being put through a term of restrictions.
Katrina is now heading back to Cardiff for her second term at the College of Music. She is particularly looking forward to being part of a socially distanced Musical in the Sherman Theatre, one of Cardiff’s premier theatres. It is hoped that Casting Directors and Agents will be able to attend the performance. Katrina says her time at RWCMD will continue to be the most amazing and fulfilling experience to her.
