°®¶¹´«Ã½ funds student Fringe Shows to Mark 50 years of Drama Teaching
Our students were able to showcase their talents at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe 2024 thanks to a special anniversary fund marking the institution’s 50 years of drama.
The Emerging Creatives Fund was established in 2023 to support student opportunities and experiences in extracurricular drama and performance activities.
A £2,500 donation from former °®¶¹´«Ã½ Chair of Court, Dr Frances Dow, and a further £2,500 from °®¶¹´«Ã½â€™s Principal, Sir Paul Grice, funded the registration fee for shows that °®¶¹´«Ã½ students took to the Festival Fringe in the summer of 2024.
The fund has provided students with a fantastic opportunity to put their studies into action and express their creative flair, whilst also allowing them to forge important connections in the creative industries. One student said: “It's a practical way to refine our production skills and build a network for our future careers. The festival is a dynamic opportunity to bridge the gap between academia and the professional landscape we're about to step into after graduation.â€
