I have to disagree with the use of "interpretation". Because she is studying theatre, it is more likely that she is interested in performing. There is an art called "Interpretive dance" in which someone tells a story through movement. I believe the meaning is close to that.

Hi Vorpar

You're right. Thanks for the correction. I had ignored or forgotten the end of the sentence.
