Hello, first off thankyou for visiting my page!
My name is Amy Winship and I'm 18.
I was extremely lucky this year to be offered a place at RADA (Royal Academy of Dramatic Art) to study on their Technical Theatre and Stage Management course (TTSM). I fell in love with the art of Stage Management at the age of 14 when working on a school production and realising it was the most enjoyable thing I had taken part in at school.
Since I realised I looked into how I could continue this enjoyment for the rest of my life hopefully and that is when trawling the internet at 15 for drama schools I came across RADA. I visited the open day that year and every year since.
At school I was involved in everything drama and theatre related. I did every production I could and was awarded the Drama Cup three times (for service to drama at my school) and then the Drama Scholarship in sixth form. I took it for GCSE where I got an A and Alevel.
When in sixthform I chose to audition for the National Youth Theatre and was lucky enough to gain a place on there 2012 summer course for Stage Management. There I fell in love with theatre all over again and it reaffirmed how great my desire to go and study Stage Management is.
The same year and just a few months later I applied to three drama schools. These drama schools are RADA, LAMDA and Guildhall, I was blessed enough to get a offer from all three and without any doubt I chose RADA. I was extremely lucky and now just have to cover the costs of going!
I have got my student finance sorted for the two years but the cost of the accomodation is more than my student finance and thats the gap I need to bridge along with living costs! I have raised about 200 already and I need 600 more to cover the cost of accomodation and then all I will need to raise is money to live off.
Sponsors for students at RADA recieve student progress reports and donations over £500 recieve credit in all relevant RADA publications and invitations to to attend the student productions each term.
Any contributions will be so very very greatly appreciated whatever size!
Thank you :)
