    As we come up to Christmas we want to keep you up to date with all the many achievements and news that’s been happening across the Academy. TOP NEWS IN BRIEF Stage School – successful second season We have had a fantastic time filming the second season of the Channel 4 structured reality programme – Stage School. The six week broadcast has now finished and the feedback throughout has been extremely positive. This season has been especially lovely for us because our Theatre School was also involved. Many of our students and parents have told us how much they enjoyed watching the show. We were lucky this year to work with some incredible talent like the Vamps, Will Young, Amelia Lily and Mic Lowry. Some of our students are now in talks with respected music industry scouts who were introduced to them as part of the programme. Thank you to all of our wonderful D&B community for supporting this series and helping to make it such a success! Goodbye Christopher Robin A huge well done to D&B’s Will Tilston who proved he’s a natural in front of the camera and achieved rave reviews for his debut performance in the title role of Christopher Robin. The film delves into the life of author A.A. Milne and the wonder that is Winnie the Pooh that was inspired by his son - C.R. Milne. We were also thrilled that D&B’s Vincent Finch took a break from the Theatre playing Fat Sam in Bugsy Malone for his first taste of filming – playing the bully 'Big Boy’ in the film.

At that time, there were 363 students reading for degrees in arts, pure science, medicine and applied science. By the time of our centenary, there were over 25,000 students from more than 100 countries, across 70 academic departments. The first ever graduate of the University was its first Chancellor, the 15th Duke of Norfolk, who was awarded an Honorary Degree in 1908 prior to the first ever graduation ceremony. This graduation ceremony took place in the historic setting of Firth Hall on 2 July 1908 at 5 pm - three years after the University had been opened by King Edward VII.

We’ve had more incredible exam results, right from pupils very first exams to teacher qualifications for our older students, performance opportunities on a world-wide televised stage in the Lord Mayor’s New Year’s Day Parade and countless happy students walking in and out of our doors.

The authors are grateful for the research council’s support. At the University of East Anglia, thanks to project administrators Rachel Daniel and Jess Knights, for organising events, picture research, travel and liaison, and really just making it all happen smoothly. Thanks to Rhythm Changes and CHIME European jazz research project teams for, once again, keeping it real. Some of the ideas were discussed at jazz and improvised music festivals and conferences in London, Birmingham, Cheltenham, Edinburgh, San Sebastian, Europe Jazz Network Wroclaw and Ljubljana, and Amsterdam. Some of the ideas and interview material have been published in the proceedings of the first Continental Drifts conference, Edinburgh, July 2016, in a paper called ‘The role of the festival producer in the development of jazz in Europe’ by Emma Webster.

  • A Christmas Message from D&B
    A Christmas Message from D&B What an amazing Year! This has been a very exciting year for D&B Academy and as we approach the Christmas break we wanted to reflect on some of the Academy’s amazing national success for our young performers. Matt Terry wins XFactor D&B’s Matt Terry stormed through the XFactor 2016 final to take the crown as this year’s winner. Matt trained with D&B for three years - graduating with a Diploma in Musical Theatre. Matt, 23, joined us straight from Spain after being selected to train under the Rob Knox Bursary by the Rob Knox Foundation where he studied everything from drama, singing, TV technique, acrobatics, partner work, ballet, tap, jazz, modern and commercial dancing. When he graduated in 2014 he was flooded with agent offers following his graduation showcase at the Shaw Theatre in the West End. D&B always believed Matt could do it all– he is a totally genuine, really hardworking, decent kid. All the pupils at D&B have been so excited to support Matt– sending him lovely messages and lined the streets of Bromley during his home visit. We could not be prouder of Matt– he is so talented and we always knew his time would come. We can't wait to see his first headliner concert! BAFTA winner Nick James It’s been a great year for D&B’s Nick James who has starred as Hank Zipzer in the TV series since it began three years ago. Last month Nick won a prestigious British Academy of Film and Television Children’s Award for his lead role in the CBBC production.
