News, updates and announcements from Central
Central is excited to announce the launch of series three of its Discover Central Podcast. The podcast takes an inside look at Central and introduces listeners to members of the School’s student, staff and alumni community.
We sat down with students Karim Oliver Ghazzal and Becky Coote to discuss their involvement in this year's independently organised restART event and how they collaborated with their fellow Central students to deliver the fourth annual TEDxRoyalCentralSchool virtually, amidst a global pandemic.
Recent BA (Hons) Theatre Practice graduates, Bethany Duke and Madeleine Young, were named finalists for The Evening Standard Future Theatre Fund.
Congratulations to Central’s Dr Katharine Low, Senior Lecturer in Community Performance and Applied Theatre, who has been awarded funding from the British Academy as a part of her involvement in two research projects.
In February the Central Students’ Union, together with students from across the School, collaborated to create and present the first ever SU Fest. The festival showcased the collaborative work of 70+ Undergraduate and Postgraduate Central students from across the School’s courses. It was the culmination of months of planning and collaboration, during lockdown, which brought Central’s students together to create new pieces of theatre.
The Board of Governors of The Royal Central School of Speech and Drama is delighted to announce that Josette Bushell-Mingo OBE has been appointed as the incoming Principal of the School.
Join Central’s students on Saturday, 13 February as they return with the fourth TEDxRoyalCentralSchool event, restART, this year streaming online to audiences in their own homes, wherever they are in the world.
Central is pleased to announce, thanks to the generosity of an anonymous donor, a new series of major Scholarships to encourage applications from British students who identify as Black and Global Majority. The Scholarships will help ensure that the diverse voices of our communities are represented amongst those benefitting from our training for the performing arts and are therefore represented in the stories being told on screen and stage.
Central is pleased to announce its support of a new pilot scheme which has been launched to provide mentoring support to British East and South East Asian theatremakers.
As we embark on 2021 and the start of a new term, we’re taking a moment to look back and celebrate the achievements of our community during the 2020 Autumn term.
Dr Sylvan Baker, Central's Lecturer in Community Performance Applied Theatre, has featured on the BBC Sounds series ‘Small Axe: The Podcast’.
Following the UK Government announcement made on 4 January 2021 of a new national lockdown and further guidance received from the Department for Education, Central’s campus will remain closed for on-site teaching provision for the Spring term. All teaching, learning and assessments will be delivered online for the Spring term.
