Research for themes seen in my script
Eating Disorders
A theme that is apparent in my script is eating disorders. The character Emma is very stressed and feels she needs to stop eating to make herself look thinner for her mum to notice that she isn't well and that her mother is pushing her too far.
I have found this website http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-22985310
which talks about an interview with a ballet dancer and a struggle she went through with an eating disorder. It also gives statistics of people with eating disorders and also states that eating disorders are more common in dancers.
Adoption
The character Danielle becomes pregnant by accident and feels she can't and wouldn't be able to look after the child but would not be able to abort the child, so she decides that she will have the baby and put the child up for adoption. I got this inspiration from the film Juno where a young girl becomes pregnant and then puts her baby up for adoption and chooses a couple who aren't able to have children to have the baby.
