A bit of background on the photography created for these shows:

On Monday 16th December we had a fantastic morning with some of our BA Acting students from the Second and Third years. With professional photographer Ed Felton, we took over one of the drama studios at Downside road and spent time creating the fantastic imagery that you now see in our show promotional artwork.

Each student did a sterling and professional job as models and actors, they were flexible, relaxed and happy to give any of our silly ideas a go. The results, we think you’ll agree, are stunning and really set the tone for each of the four productions.

Thanks to Tyler, Albi, Emaan, Tamzin and Nicole.

The School is in a beautiful part of Bristol, overlooking a huge park called the Downs. We sometimes take advantage of our close proximity to the Downs during the summer term, practising fight and dance routines, or voice or singing classes! Dan Hall, BA Professional Acting student
