We are excited to partner with Discover! Creative Careers to broaden access to theatre and creative careers for young people in the South West. The initiative is particularly important to us as we plan for the future of our Youth programmes at The School, and we are looking forward to collaborating with other creative organisations in the area.

Rob Langley-Swain, head of marketing and development at the School, said:

“We believe that every young person should have the opportunity to experience live theatre and understand the opportunities for careers in the creative industries. This project fits perfectly into our ambition to foster a love of creative arts, in all its forms, in as many young people from Bristol and the South West as possible.”

It was always stressed that the contacts you make during your training are incredibly important, and your classmates are likely to end up being on set alongside you in the future. After working with a director of photography on one of the School’s short films, I was invited to work on a project with him outside of Bristol - proving that the professionals we meet via the School, may one day give us a call to action!
