COLLEGE LIFE
Perhaps a highlight of the whole placement was
my involvement on The South Bank Show on ballet
dancers. It was a topic I knew next to nothing about
beforehand but I spent a lot of time assisting with
filming back stage and in the wings at The Royal Opera
House, watching the production and shadowing and
interviewing the great dancer Carlos Acosta, as well as
others for a forthcoming film.
On the whole it’s been a fantastic experience, and I’d
like to thank you and the College very much for the
opportunity to have undertaken it. n
‘This Award
works
remarkably well.
Nick Young
was a brilliant
Researcher, and
was on the way
to being a fine
Director when
he was killed.
I can’t think of
anyone who
has not done
well through
this Award.
Some have done
remarkably
well in their
careers, and all
of them have
reported that
they benefitted
greatly from
the scope and
intensity of the
experience’.
