Hello! My name is Orna and I am one of the new additions to The Quack team! I am a second year Musical Theatre Student! I live near the sunny seaside town of Blackpool and I am very excited to join the team!
The million dollar question I bet you’re thinking of right now is, why is a Musical Theatre student writing articles? Well, aside from singing and dancing, I love to write! Articles, stories, poems you name it I’ve probably done it! Writing is like my little escape from my very hectic work life, it is something I’ve always enjoyed and if I wasn’t studying MT I would be studying English.
I am often described as being quite shy and introverted…which is the case when you first meet me! Usually, I am a bubbly, quirky, and at times outspoken person! I could go on for hours about music, film or books! Once I start there’s no stopping me! I have a habit of daydreaming which has often got me in trouble especially during lectures and seminars (whoops!).
I love Music! My Spotify wrapped is the most bizarre thing you will ever see! When I’m not dancing in the Arts Centre, I am found dancing in my room to Fleetwood Mac, Queen, Harry Styles and I’ve even found myself dancing to some kind of weird classical piano music!
So…a few quickfire questions…
Nicknames?
Yes! For the longest time my family and close friends have called me Boo…why? Because as a tiny tot I had a striking resemblance to little Boo from Monsters Inc! (pigtails and all).
Favourite Book?
Too Many! But at the moment, I’d have to say Little Women by Louisa May Alcott (I’m often described as being a bit of a Jo March, do with that information what you will) and When the Curtain Falls by Carrie Hope Fletcher, it’s a love story that is set in a theatre with just a hint of supernatural happenings…
Dream Dinner Party?
Tough one! But I’m going to have to say Freddie Mercury ( I feel like we’d both click and have a laugh, I also call people Dah-ling), Anne Frank ( I read her diary when I was little and went to visit her house last year! I have so many questions I’d like to ask her ) and Stevie Nicks ( no explanation other than it’s Stevie Nicks and I am OBSESSED with her!)
Advice for freshers?
When you feel ready to, prop your door open with a box when you move in! I think I propped my door open with a box of kitchen utensils, it sparked conversation, I just wish it was something a bit more inviting like a tub of Haribo! Oh! And don’t worry about feeling awkward…when I first moved into my halls I must have asked the question ‘Does anyone fancy a cup of tea?’ about 50 times, just to break the ice…I don’t even like tea that much…I’m a coffee person…
