Rae Scudder
Theatre Arts BA (Hons)
Rae studied theatre arts at ncn for several years: firstly a BND in Dance, then a Foundation Degree in Technical Theatre, and then
the BA (Hons).
“I feel like I’ve grown as a person as well as a theatre practitioner during my time at ncn. I’ve always had excellent student/tutor relationships and I’ve made a number of useful external professional contacts through the College.
“It was fascinating learning about the technical side of theatre during my Foundation Degree – it gave me an appreciation of the massive amount of work that goes into creating productions.
“The BA theory lectures were excellent – I’ve gained a real thirst for knowledge since completing the course – and the tutors were supportive, professional and driven. My highlight has to be the devised performance; it was my first experience of acting in a full production, which was terrifying, but well worth it!
“Upon completing the BA, I have been presented with several opportunities to work with professionals at the top of their game, both as a performer and a choreographer. I am currently in the process of adapting and reworking the dance/performance piece I choreographed and performed in during the course, which has already been presented at two professional venues in Nottingham. I am currently focussing on building upon my professional portfolio and hope to be touring my choreography in the near future.”
