A Romantic Story and My Likely Start in Dramaturgy

Although I'm not that sure about chronology, I guess I can trace back my beginning as a playwriter to my family inducing me to recreate two of Shakespeare's plays: Romeo and Juliet, and Hamlet (Kill Them All!) I was already a songwriter when my relatives were reunited, I was told my cousin of the same age was coming around and should create a play for us to stage together, "a romantic story!", which led to a song in Portuguese language. I played Juliet and also created two more songs for the play; one with lyrics, in English, and another only instrumental, which, I think, must be the same song I love in a film about this story.

New Year Revelation

"My younger self entered the empty classroom of a prestigious school of idioms. I looked around for my usual classmates but there was no one there. In the blackboard there was a quote, attributed to William Shakespeare, writen in chalk; 'We are made of the same stuff dreams are made of. That's why nothing is possible - or impossible - under heaven.' Those words stucked into my mind, and that's how, later, Dream was created." Camilla Saidi This very same episode also inspired Guinevere Silva in the screenplay of one of those foreign language films. This schools' newspaper published one of my short stories , an old one, uncredited.

Disclaimer blog

Since I've seen some other people using my name for email adresses and online profiles, I created this blog for the purpose of stating it isn't me. I don't email anyone under my artistic name and don't have any social media profile besides my YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@CamillaSaidi I'm a dancer, choreographer, scenographer, costume/character designer, screenwriter and songwriter (composer). My work was reproduced on many different media without credit - some of them are very famous pieces, but people involved may be aware of that. I am proctecting my intelectual property and good name. If someone contacts you on my behalf, he or she doesn't speak for me and I am not being informed about any of this. Photo: Soundtrap
