Our yearly Performing
Arts Industry Panel event will be held this Wednesday 9 March.
Our team have put
together an exciting day that gives student a chance to network with
professional actors from the Stage, Film and TV industry, catch up with
Performing Arts graduates who are currently establishing their careers, receive
lots of professional advise and to top it all up, there is a free performance
and celebratory food and drink!
The event will start off
at 3pm in DS2 with a panel discussion delivered by a diverse range of
speakers: professional actors will be joined by graduates of the Bucks
Uni Performing Arts course to discuss their experiences and advise on how to
secure employment within the industry after graduating from University.
Speakers include:
Gaye Poole and Amy
Enticknap from the Saturday Matinee Company
Adam Brown (credits
include The Hobbit and The Pirates of the Caribbean)
Margaret Cabourn-Smith
(credits include Evermoor, Miranda and The IT Crowd)
Bucks graduates Connor
Baker, Amanda Cairns, Georgia Walsh and Paige Fox-Rendle
The guest speakers will
introduce themselves and give an overview of their career so far. This will be
followed by a round table session where students can rotate around three tables
and talk to the guests more informally, giving them a chance to ask them
questions and get more personalized tips.
At 5.30pm last year’s
graduate Modupe Salu will present her dissertation piece I Can’t Breathe, which
has been selected for the prestigious National Student Drama Festival.
The day will finish with
a celebration of our students’ achievements this year and more time to talk
with guests and lecturers and each other; the team will provide free nibbles
and drinks; no doubts the students will bring some music and try to make their
lecturers dance :)
