Question- I read the Unfinished Tales a while ago and can't quite remember the details, and I'm at uni and don't have the book with me. Did Galadriel remain in Doriath for the whole of the first age, or did she and Celeborn cross the mountains before Doriath fell, and Sirion, etc. It's for fic purposes and I can't find an accurate answer by googling/you seem to be pretty knowledgeable about the Silm. Thanks!

I do not know shit about shit Anon, but I am good at googling keywords and, per the much more knowledgeable Ask Middle Earth…there’s no definitive answer, wooo thanks JRR. You can go with whichever choice suits your story best and canon will back you up.

If you want me to give an opinion, I would favour other sources over Celeborn Was A Teleri Prince Called Teleporno And Galadriel Did Nothing Wrong Ever In Her Life (and tbh there’s way better drama to be milked from Galadriel having been in Doriath and Sirion during the kinslayings) but it is entirely your call.

Best of luck with the fic!

#Anonymous #I mean I'm fresh off the dramatrain that is Celebrimbor at Sirion so I may be biased...

Does Drama Really Matter? Are you having a laugh?

I'm not here to bang on about EBAC proposals or defame another Tory MP, but I have seen article after article this year answering the question 'Does Drama Really Matter'? Why are we even responding to a question that is so distinctly rhetorical. Ask Google. It also wonders 'Does theatre matter'? Lists the even worse 'Why does theatre matter to you'? Follows with 'Does theatre even matter'? and the aggravating 'Why does theatre education matter'? Siri led me to an article entitled 'Drama Matters: Does It?' Of course these links mostly lead to articles, blogs and videos from advocates of drama, but posing the question in itself suggests the possibility that it doesn't. Isn't it time to stop entertaining the negative altogether, when the positives are so clear to see in any good drama education, inside or outside of school. Let's change the question. Can I suggest a few. What would the world be like without the arts? Answer - Even Worse. What life skills can be learnt through the arts? Answer - Most of them. What six day a week mundane jobs can be relieved between clocking off and the next impending shift by the arts? Answer - all of them. Additionally, while I think about it... What incredible affects can the provision of arts training have on our young people? Maybe that's the one we should be asking. For decades, leading drama providers for young people use the phrases 'have fun', 'develop confidence', 'realise potential', 'make new friends' and in recent years we've started to add 'develop life long skills' and 'explore creativity' to our websites and snapchat stories, as we attempt to combat a politically induced stigma surrounding the arts. But it's never been enough. Do we need to try a little harder? As arts providers, it's been made clear to us, that as wonderful as these benefits to participants are, the government, and an increasing number of parents, don't think it's enough. And maybe, maybe... sometimes it isn't. If we are using great teachers, providing arts classes at the very best level, then we are providing all these transformative skills, and additionally, much much more, that even more importantly, is incredibly relevant to the problems currently facing not just our young people, but our society today. Don't get me wrong, as the principal Applied Theatre practitioner at one of the UK's foremost performing arts schools for young people, I'm as guilty at the next school's social media marketeer. In the paragraph above, I probably just paraphrased my own last Instagram post, set under a couple of really smiley children having incredible value for money. It's difficult to start including #grit and #criticalthinking when it's hardly going to get the parent down the road to click on a pirate adventure day. This is definitely not happening overnight. I'm not pretending here that I'm at the forefront of critical engagement within the provision of arts. Far from it. I spend most of my time teaching, while incredibly educated researchers are putting in hour after hour of tremendous work to try and prove the worthiness of the arts to the non-believers. But that doesn't mean I can't do my bit at this level. Let's be honest, after school and weekend performing arts schools are where this all starts for so many. It is a massive stepping stone in the struggle to prove impact and sustainability in the arts. So it's important that we get it right. We know that teaching children a song and dance number from Oliver can boost confidence and co-ordination skills, AND if the choreography leans far away from the original, we're even boosting creativity. Children have fun performing 'A hard knock Life' and they can improve their vocal skills, but start to talk about the orphans situation in the correct way, AND we start to include empathy in the process, something which naturally declines in the adolescent brain. At Bodens, we have belief in increasing our student's grit and determination. Already articles suggest it has no effect on academic achievements (Daily Mail.. does that count?) while suggesting perhaps it is more useful after the age of 16. What does that mean? How is that a negativity? Aren't we building students up to achieve and keep on achieving throughout their lives. Apparently not. Just up to the exams. Even if that were the case, isn't it already established that drama helps students achieve in other subjects? Or should I save that for another question? Does drama do anything? So we need the drama to compliment the rest of the education. The Maths, English, Science etc. are an incredibly important part of who our young people become, and so is the drama education. Emphatically. I once worked at Toys R Us with an A Level student. He had four of the things. All A grade. Couldn't sell a 'Cozy coupe' to a toddler though. Maybe not the most important thing in the world, but he also failed to talk warmly to a customer, make eye contact, understand the social perspective of a young black girl's parents wanting a black barbie (this was 1990 and change was on it's way). And to be honest... cozy coupes usually sell themselves. Anyway. Getting back on track... Bertolt Brecht spent a lifetime challenging audiences to think for themselves.Our young people are facing a spiral of fake news in their feeds and have to be able to think for themselves... something which many subjects are actually steering away. You can't get much further from critical thinking than a Scholastic Aptitude Test. Brazilian Practitioner Boal works to heal communities, surely there is a place for his teachings within our own fractured towns. Starting with the next generation is usually a good idea. It was 1942 when Russian Practitioner Michael Chekhov specified his acting teachings were most probably for the actor of the future. Well here we are, and his techniques centre around focus, being in the moment and spiritual awareness. If you ever wanted mindfulness away from a smartphone app, there it is right there. These are merely a few examples demonstrating what the arts can offer in school, after school and at the weekends, alongside having fun and making really good theatre. But you have to have the right teachers to do it. The danger is that by this continued dismissal of arts education impact, and a lack of schools and funding providers taking the subject as seriously as they should, we are losing amazing drama teachers on a daily basis. Of course there are a plethora of young performers willing to turn their hand to teaching until the next acting job arises, and they do bring an amazing inside knowledge of the industry to their classes (something which we always try to include at times throughout the term) But they are not actually teachers armed with the knowledge of what the arts really can do for our young people. What the arts can really, really do for them in the right hands, with the right backing. That's what we need to be going on, in school, after school and at weekends. After I completed my MA in Applied Theatre at Royal Central School of Speech and Drama, I found myself left with this question... If we can make really great theatre with young people, teaching them to act, sing, dance and realise their potential, and alongside that have an opportunity to impact on the rest of their lives: transferable skills, how they see the world, truly thinking for themselves, grit and determination, mindfulness, acceptance (personally can't abide the word tolerance) and the ability to perform in the real world as themselves... then why would we not make the most of it? At Bodens performing arts, our fully qualified teacher's also have training along the way, at every level of teaching, to ensure they make the biggest impact they can. It's not always easy, and it demands planning and passion that is admittedly 'possibly' easier to sustain in a privately funded school where our hands are maybe not as tied. We need the arts to be backed as the serious subject that it is, so seriously good teachers are teaching it, and the impact is as powerful as it can be. All over the UK there are pockets of amazing performing arts schools with incredible teachers working their magic on the future of your young people, and within schools up and down the country, drama teachers worthy of a Robin Williams film, with their backed departments, are having incredible success both within the teaching of the curriculum and the transformative powers their classes can have. We need to shout out about these teachers, embrace them and embrace the arts in and out of our schools. So let's stop discussing if we need the arts and spend more of our time on why. Because that matters.
