MA Drama Directing Student


Biography

Ben is studying on the MA Drama Directing course at BOVTS, working with actors, writers, producers, and designers. Recent roles at BOVTS have included Movement Director on short film, The Prang and Movement AD for The Last Days of Judas Iscariot.

Ben is a regular director for Cheltenham Youth Theatre – who often enter the National Youth Theatre Showcase. Ben has also been an Associate Artist at the Arnolfini, Traveling Light Theatre Company and Creative Youth Network. The work he has done within community and youth theatre has led him stage shows at numerous venues across the region, including Bristol Old Vic, Tobacco Factory, Glastonbury Festival and Bristol Beacon.

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
