MA Drama Writing Student


Biography

Alex studies Dramatic Writing at BOVTS. He achieved his undergraduate degree, magna cum laude, at New York University, in English and American Literature, as well as Creative Writing. He’s worked various internships and jobs, from those in the arts β€” a semester with a production company in London, a semester as script supervisor for student short films at the University of Florida β€” to others focused on social justice β€” a summer teaching at-risk kids, another on outreach for Save the Children, political canvassing, etc. He writes for stage and screen, and was a finalist in Scriptwriters & Co’s recent short play contest.

One of my favourite parts about BOVTS is that it feels β€˜homegrown’. From the set to the costume, lighting, acting and sound, every single aspect of a theatre production or film is down to the students. The location of Clifton is so serene and the School being so small everyone knows each other and it feels so personal and special. Violet Morris, BA Professional Acting Student
