BOVTS Queer Choir Sings with Pride

As Pride Month draws to a close and preparations for Bristol’s Pride Day are well underway, the Theatre School has found a way to join in with celebrations… through song!

In May, Jonty Grosberg (Head of Music and Singing) established a Queer Choir to record a special song in celebration of the LGBTQ+ community. The song All We Want Is Love – which some may recognise from its inclusion on Netflix show Grace & Frankie by Norwegian singer-songwriter Ane Brun – focuses on the universal need for love. With Ane’s blessing, and a four part arrangement by Catherine Courtley, BOVTS students and staff rehearsed together over three days to bring the song to life.

The group then headed to Christchurch Studios – the School’s Clifton-based recording studio – to record the song.

BOVTS wishes all of our students, staff, alumni and friends a happy and safe Pride!

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!
