Shivvy End of Year Thingy

S

 

My time at Northbrook College Sussex has been great I’m delighted to be here, it was a big change for me but I’m glad I went through with it. The course has helped me develop into a more complete performer. I was very fortunate to the opportunities they gave me. I was able to express my cultural side to the college. My 2 year degree in FdA Acting and Contemporary Theatre Making has now come to an end. I am now staying on to study the BA.

End of year thing :)

I have learned various skills throughout my two years at Northbrook; many professional, some personal. I hope to go on and complete the BA Honors.

Hi all,

Remember when we last saw you all and we were talking about getting some pictures from you and some quotes about your time on the course?
Well, we are going to be updating the course website in early July, so if you have any lovely quotes or pictures, that you would be happy for us top use, then do please e mail them directly to me or Vanessa, or upload them here to the blog - we'd really appreciate it!

Thanks,
