Name: Mark Weston on Mar 1, 2010Comments: The students from our school that have taken part in the Shakespeare Summer School have gained a great deal from the programme, and it will be a great shame if future students are unable to participate in these or similar events run by the UCL Theatre Education Department.Flag

Name: Rick Bland on Mar 1, 2010Comments: After actively building a programme - that has taken some time and money to develop and is having a very good effect, it seems counter productive to cut back the funding just as things are really starting to take off. The Arts are always an easy target but arts programmes pay back much more than most administrators seem to acknowledge. It is always interesting to see where institutions make cuts...Everyone rattles on about the importance of Education but it is always cut first. Why is that?Flag

Name: Caroline Joyner on Mar 1, 2010Comments: The work undertaken by Bloomsbury Theatre Education department is invaluable on so many levels . Young People, the future of tomorrow, are given the opportunities via the education department to develop themselves holistically; that is intellectually, emotionally, physically, and spiritually. How can a University budget question the benefits of such a department where young people have the scope to grow in order that some day they may attend University with so much greater flair, commitment and imagination, developed from these educational experiences. Stop the cuts !Flag

Name: Iona Bissell on Mar 1, 2010Comments: I have been a part of the Bloomsbury Youth Theatre for 2 years now, and also from 2002-2004. The theatre has helped me become more confident and has also introduced me to people that I am now very good friends with. The Youth Theatre also helped me get a part in UCLU's South Pacific in February 2009, if it wasn't for the Education Officer's role, then I would not have got the part. It also helped me gain a role in the Classic's Society play in February 2010, in which the director (Lisa Gosbee) came into the session to look for people to use in the chorus. Also, the youth theatre has had casting directors come along, and had one girl from the group cast in a BBC show. The Bloomsbury Youth Theatre has given many oppurtunities to many people and some of these have been life changing. The work it has done with the schools is also very significant, as a past member of the Shakespeare Summer School (2009), I know that many of us benifited from that experience, and many of us learnt a lot more about not just drama, but about Shakespeare and literature as a whole.Flag

Name: Kirsty Mackmurdie on Mar 1, 2010Comments: I have been part of both the Bloomsbury theatre shakespeare summer school and Ignite youth theatre and both these workshops have helped me so much to further my dramatic techniques. Also, the amount of work & planning that goes into this, and achievement that comes from it are tremendous. To shut it down would be horrendous and limit the amount oppurtunities for young people even more. This youth theatre has given so many of us hope and knowledge, along with oppurtunities to get ahead in drama for the future.Flag

Name: Dr Christine Lambert on Mar 1, 2010Comments: This is a very shortsighted decision. The outreach work of the education department has a positive effect on the attitudes of school age students as I know from personal experience of teaching practical theatre workshops to school groups of ages from year 8 upwards. This would not have been possible without the enterprising and imaginative efforts of the education department, and of Rebecca Reed in particular. The pupils were very stimulated by the experience of working together and with University level tutors and their interest in and ability to contribute to higher education in due course, and especially in drama was materially increased.Flag

Name: Stuart Bennett on Mar 2, 2010Comments: The Bloomsbury Theatre Education programme covers a range of key areas. It provides many creative skills and experiences for a range of young people. This prepares them for further and higher education courses. Especially the programmes which are run in schools. To close it will damage UCL as a key central London education development organisation. LONDON DRAMA / Linking Drama across LondonFlag

Name: Arjun Kharpal on Mar 2, 2010Comments: I have participated in and worked for the Bloomsbury Youth Theatre for 3 years, putting on several different performances on the main stage and in the studio. I have seen many young people attend and have made many friends. One of the most striking things about this project is the personality change and attitude improvement in many young people, who find role models within the Youth Theatre. In addition to this, many of these young people have asked myself and other facilitators about university applications and opportunities thus allowing them access to information and tips on higher eduction.Flag

Name: Julian Bergin, Head Of Expressive Arts Clapton Girls' Tech College on Mar 3, 2010Comments: Our A'Level students have gained considerably from the opportunities that they have had to learn in a professional theatre environment, on courses organised and promoted by the Education Officer. The loss of this valuable resource would be felt widely by students and teachers across London. I urge you to avoid taking any decisions that would result in the disappearance of this service.Flag

Name: Lorraine Molins on Mar 3, 2010Comments: I teach Drama & Special Needs at La Sainte Union School, and have written at length to Peter Cadley, Director of the Bloomsbury Theatre & Rebecca Reed, Education Officer. (Please refer to this letter which raises all objections to the proposal of cuts). Rebecca Reed & the Theatre Education Dept have given outstanding opportunities to Key Stage 3, & 4 girls in the school, including some with Special Needs. She has conducted numerous workshops, both in the school & at the Bloomsbury, thus inspiring girls to think about further educational opportunities at UCL, in theatre education & practice, as well as providing outlets for those from lower socio-economic backgrounds. I re-iterate that It would be a crime to cut this department, as the outreach programme is invaluable for schools, inspiring younger people for the future. As a leading University, surely there should be an in-house Theatre & a Theatre Education Department to provide this invaluable service.Flag

Name: Rona Hamilton on Mar 3, 2010Comments: I think that it is such pity that such resources may have to suffer due to a lack of funding. So many students and other individuals have enjoyed what the Bloomsbury has to offer from such diverse backgrounds. The educational value for schools throughout London, as well as Drama for those less fortunate. For those who have never, or may not have the opportunity to ever visit a theatre.Flag

Name: Jo Shirley on Mar 3, 2010Comments: I am a second year English lit student at UCL and last year I worked as a volunteer doing the Shakespeare summer school. It was the best experience I've had doing any extra-curricular activities since I came to UCL. I consider the loss of the education department to be a tragedy both for the vast number of kids who would have benefited from it, and for the UCL students who will never get the chance to get involved with such a worthwhile and fulfilling project. I think it's a huge mistake.Flag
