Biography

Rosa is fascinated with traditional processes of surface decoration. She has applied embroidery, natural dyeing, and printing to the construction skills developed at BOVTS, including corsetry and tailoring.  Recent placements include Fawlty Towers, and she is excited to gain more experience in the industry broadly. Rosa wants to further explore methods of adornment with historical accuracy in period costume.

Students relaxing outside of the School
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
