"One of the highlights of the theatre course at BRIT is the community. At the start of the year,
we were put into “Theatre families” with one person from each year group, which is a great
way to get guidance. In my class, it's amazing to be around people passionate about theatre
and eager to learn. We all push each other to be better; it's a supportive space. In my four terms at BRIT, I
have already learnt so much about being a theatre maker."
