Biography

Erica is currently Deputy Artistic Director at the RSC.

 

Reflecting on her time at BOVTS she says, ‘My time at BOVTS was genuinely formative and very happy.  I learnt the practical craft of directing but I learnt so much more, about actors and acting, design and stage management, but perhaps most importantly that great theatre is always a collaborative art, requiring respect for every member of the team.’

One of my favourite parts about BOVTS is that it feels ‘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
