Student successes
Our talented acting students recently performed four plays
commissioned by the National Theatre New Connections programme. The
plays, entitled ‘A Vampire Story’, ‘Fugee’, ‘My Face’ and ‘Four
Walls’, went down a storm when they were performed in our
atmospheric studio theatre.
- Our energetic dancers choreographed and performed ‘A Time to
Dance’ which was very well received by the public and industry
professionals alike. Audiences were blown away by the performance’s
contemporary themes and innovative mixture of dance styles, which
ranged from tap to jazz and ballet.
- Former Bedford College student Chris Atkins, who studied
Performing Arts and Music Technology at College, is now working
with some of the biggest names in the music business, including
David Gray and Snow Patrol, as well as companies such as Pepsi,
Ferrari, Nokia and Intel. Chris moved to Dubai three years ago to
work as a composer, programmer and sound engineer at Barry Kirsch
Productions.
- Lauren Smart, a Music Technology student at the College, beat
off competition from more than 250 students from colleges and
universities across Europe to win the Apple Creative Talent
Competition. Lauren won her prize in the audio category for her
song ‘Heartbroken’.
