DASAITES Of The Week -Adefisan Lucas Ayobami

Life In Dramatic Arts 

Stage Voice: Hi, good evening! Can you please introduce yourself?

Lucas: Hi! I’m Adefisan Lucas Ayobami, a second-year student of Dramatic Arts, and I also serve as the class representative.

Stage Voice: Great! Can you share your experience since becoming a Dramatic Arts student?

Lucas: It’s been quite a journey. There were moments when my passion and enthusiasm were challenged, but looking back, it’s all been worth it.

Stage Voice: What were some of the challenges that led to your frustration?

Lucas: Well, I’ve always been passionate about drama, so I came into the department ready for anything. But I had high expectations, and not all of them were met. On top of that, juggling my responsibilities as a class rep, staying engaged in the department, and focusing on my personal development has been overwhelming at times.

Stage Voice: How have you managed to balance your rehearsals with your duties as class rep?

Lucas: I’ve learned to create a detailed schedule, balancing my personal time with rehearsals. I also share some of my class rep duties with a few classmates to ease the load.

Entrepreneurial Spirit 

Stage Voice: Do you have any business ventures outside of school?

Lucas: Yes, I’m a hairstylist, and I also do some exchange business.

Stage Voice: That’s impressive! You must be juggling a lot—business, rehearsals, and class rep duties. How do you manage it all?

Lucas: Honestly, it’s all thanks to God.

Stage Voice: So, how do you manage rehearsals, classes, and your business?

Lucas: I work as a mobile hairstylist, so I go to my clients’ homes when they book my services. I also have a fixed class schedule, so I use my free periods to manage my time efficiently.

Stage Voice: That sounds like a lot of work! But it must be rewarding.

Personal life 

Stage Voice: Are you currently in a relationship?

Lucas: Yes, I am

Stage Voice: Haha, that’s great!

Stage Voice: Do you have any advice for incoming students and future class reps?

Lucas: My advice would be to stay focused and keep your head in the game. There are many distractions in our department, so it’s important to remain determined.

Stage Voice: Thank you so much for sharing your experience with us, Lucas.
