Biography

I’m Cat and I’m a mature student who is just about to graduate from Bristol Old Vic Theatre School studying Production Arts and specialising in Stage Management. I previously worked in Heritage and have a degree in Museum & Artefact Studies awarded from Durham University. I worked in the Events & Exhibitions Department at The RSC for five years which gave me a love of theatre & propping – I’m tenacious in sourcing and acquiring props. I have worked at a number of theatres, in varying Stage Management roles, and am competent in both in-person and online productions. I am Covid trained and have experience of working under social distance guidelines. I’ve good communication and interpersonal skills, I’m eager to learn and positive and energetic.

As a student, the most important aspect of a course is putting into practice what you've been learning, and we do that constantly. I cannot recommend BOVTS enough - my showreel has never looked better! April Storm Perry, MA Screen Acting Student
