Music Performance Scholarship for Voice
In 2017 I graduated with a 2:1 (BA) in Comparative Literature and Drama with a Year Abroad from the University of Kent. For my dissertation production, I took on the roles of co-writer, co-director, set designer and performer. I was responsible for arranging open and invited auditions which involved planned workshops, recalls, read-throughs and organising headshots and CVs. In Drama I covered a variety of modules that included: Physical Theatre, Naturalism, Acting For Screen, Modern Theatre, Performance Art, Site Specific Theatre, Comedia Del Arte and studied theatrical practitioners such as Antonin Artaud, Konstantin Stanislavski and Katie Mitchell. In Comparative Literature I studied modules that included: Shakespeare, Fairytales, Science Fiction, Contemporary literature, film adaptation and explored themes such as freedom and oppression, gender and sexuality, travel, the body, childhood and adolescence. Across my time at University of Kent I was the Assistant Musical Director of the UKC Musical Theatre Society. I assisted on all events, audition panels and productions. I organised sheet music, taught up to 60 students and arranged music. I became an improved communicator, gained skills in action planning, organisation and led others using my own initiative. I was also awarded a University of Kent Music Scholarship for Voice. Through my scholarship I performed in various public and private concerts and events. Not only did I gain further musical skills but I also developed skills in time management and event planning.
