My name is Ali saqeeb, I am 19 years old. I started taking part in plays and doing acting since I was in year 3 (8 years old at this point). And since I first did my play about Jesus. It became a passion for me to do it as a job when I got older. And going on in the Years I wanted to do more and more plays and be apart of more things. So I did my first proper play in year10, which was DNA by Dennis Kelly. I was phill and this was my first big role and then in year 11 I went onto do immersive theatre, About school shootings which was a very exciting devised piece we made. And then when I went into college I did 12 dancing princess (the pig ), our house (Lewis), dick Whittington (the dame Sarah), andblue stockings (will). All these roles helped me improve my acting abilities, and my diversity to do different and play unique characters to come out of my comfort zone.Acting has really been a huge part in my life. As I reallly want to be come an actor not only because I love it, but because I want to inspire more people in the future to take on this difficult industry and try to challenge them selfs. Because this industry not only is good for acting but helps give lots of transferable skills, which can help you find different passions and hobbies for your future, Thank you for reading my post I'll send a link and my pictures of me in character will be in it:)https://docs.google.com/document/d/13Up1Jk1Ogw-Kt3jp3zDD9blVeASf7gbxAZpEgLuqW3Y/edit
