EDINBURGH PART I

So I've been in Edinburgh for about a week now and its going well! I though I'd update you on my recent experiences up North!

So first the venue, we are in the Space @ Venue45 - just off the Royal Mile. I am acting in a play called 'Forty Five Minutes' written by Anya Reiss. It is about a group of sixth formers who suddenly realise the deadline for UCAS is in 45 minutes and they are no where near finishing it! I play the character Lara. Here is a link to see the full synopsis, reviews and all the information on the show: https://tickets.edfringe.com/whats-on/forty-five-minutes.






Here are a few snaps of me in action!



As you can see I am one of the only characters that is sitting, due to my hemiplegia I find it difficult to stand for too long, as this is 45 minutes I would not have been able to cope, but we managed to find a way around that by giving a seat centre stage! Personally, I think I got the better deal! 



And of course, the fashion! For my character this is the outfit I wore, she is not meant to be that stylish and I veered towards mismatched, bright colours. Here, I am standing outside my hostel. 






.Dress | H&M (a very old buy!). Jumper | Topshop. Trainers | Converse.

Stay tuned for more outfits posts etc and my experiences in Edinburgh.

I am hoping to talk a lot more about my disability in further posts, first I'm going to start with my condition - Hemiplegia. Many people are probably unaware of this and what it entails. I was born premature and almost died, I had to have open heart surgery to keep me alive. Hemiplegia is a condition that affects half of your body and is caused by parts of the brain being damaged. The most obvious effects of my condition is my foot, I limp and throughout childhood had to wear a splint and specialised footwear. I want to raise awareness of my condition, growing up was hard and I always stood out. I could never wear the latest fashions like my sister i.e flimsy footwear such as flip flops were a big no no! However, I want to show people that a disability is not a hindrance and you can still look and feel good with it! I love fashion and love dressing up - I refuse to let my disability stop this! Instead I have had to find ways of dressing to accommodate this. I am going to sha...

STRIPES AND BOOTS

Another day another outfit! My sister picked out this skirt for me the other day and told me I had to buy it! It's from Topshop (surprise) and I love it! The material is stretchy and fits so nicely. I decide to pair it with a leather jacket and my trusty Docs.  Lauren x

EDINBURGH FRINGE FESTIVAL

It's that time of the year again, festivals are in full motion. One of my favourites (mainly because I've been performing in it for the past two years) is the Edinburgh Fringe. An explosive delight of arts from theatre to music to comedy. Edinburgh is a fantastic city and comes alive at this time of the year with an eclectic mix of acts. I will once again be gracing the streets of Edinburgh with my acting group Flying High. Here is a link to our play based on the process of filling out your UCAS application for university. It will be well worth your while! https://www.edfringe.com/whats-on/theatre/forty-five-minutes
