Postgraduate MA/MFA SHOWCASES on the 1st July 2020
VIEW MA/MFA ACTING SHOWCASE HERE
This online Actors’ Showcase is the result of four weeks of work in lockdown. The graduates have shot and edited all of their scenes themselves, using only the resources they had at home. They have created the music and written much of the material. It has been a complete collaboration, with everything done remotely, online, together. We hope you enjoy the results, and we thank you for supporting our graduates in such precarious times for our industry.
Directed by Screen Acting Tutor (& GSA alumna) Bronagh Waugh (best known for her television roles in Unforgotten, The Fall, Derry Girls, Hollyoaks)
Edited (& with technical assistance throughout) by Mark Dutton, TTA Video Technician, GSA.
Jaq Bessell, Programme Leader, MA/MFA Acting at GSA.

As in any year, we greatly thank you for giving your support to our graduating students. We give particular thanks this year given the incredibly difficult times for Musical Theatre and the whole industry.
It has been a most unusual process to create this online Musical Theatre Showcase for this talented group of students. All the work you see has been created remotely by the students with the resources they had available to them. We have been working for 3 weeks across 3 continents and many time zones! It is a credit to their tenacity, professionalism and skills that they have produced work of such a high calibre.
With many thanks to the students themselves, Phyllida Crowley-Smith, Peter Roberts, Tom Turner, Alex Ryland-Jones and all the parents, siblings, husbands, wives and partners who have supported, filmed, listened or vacated each individual performance space during this time! Thanks also to Stewart Nicholls the programme leader for being there at all times.
We hope you enjoy!
