Kim joined BOVTS to combine her interest in heritage crafts with practical training in costume, exploring these skills in her third year. She is the first student to produce a suit of armour! Kim recently received the George Hatfield Theatrical Arts Foundation bursary in recognition of her endeavours. Kim is keen to start collaborating professionally within the Costume Industry.

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
