“I proudly received the BBM Youth Support Award for Drama in August 2016, and with my schedule already set out in my application, I quickly booked my flights, accommodation and classes. I was on a plane just three weeks later! The two key objectives of my trip were to develop my skills as a performer and theatre-maker, and to connect with other emerging artists from across the globe. I am so grateful to have succeeded on both those accounts.”

“I was based in London for the duration of my time in the U.K. and undertook a number of short courses across different styles of performance and theatre-making. I also had the opportunity to watch live theatre and even made a trip out to Stratford-upon-Avon.”

“The BBM Youth Support Award was a timely experience for me as an emerging artist, and provided an incredible opportunity to grow and learn. As well as this, I have built networks across the world and valuable professional relationships with artists who I hope to collaborate with in the future. I am really excited about what’s next for my career as a performer and theatre-maker, and am so grateful for the BBM Youth Support Award being a big part of my development.”
