The city is made up of vibrant boroughs and neighbourhoods, each with its own unique features and communities. In London, world- renowned landmarks and department stores are often only around the corner from quirky markets, small boutiques, designers’ studios, the latest restaurants and bars, theatres, and thriving arts and performance spaces. London is also a cultural capital and a world centre for the creative industries. It is where digital and media start-ups thrive, and where internationally renowned museums and galleries (many of which are free) sit alongside independent cultural centres and small artist-run exhibition spaces that feature emerging talent. London’s rich annual cultural calendar includes an array of prominent events, such as London Fashion Week, Frieze Art Fair, LIFT Theatre Festival, London Festival of Architecture and London Design Festival, to name but a few. As a major transport hub, with its five airports, sixteen railway termini and high speed international connections, London is the perfect base from which to explore the rest of the UK and many of Europe’s finest cities and regions. All six UAL Colleges are at the heart of their local neighbourhoods, so you will be perfectly placed to enjoy these dynamic communities and all that London has to offer. 6 arts.ac.uk/studyabroad 7 Our Colleges Camberwell College of Arts What makes Camberwell so special? For over a century, this small College (1,600 students) with a big reputation has been at the heart of a bohemian community that encourages inventiveness, collaboration and curiosity. Camberwell has just undergone a major refurbishment, with new facilities including on-site luxury accommodation and a student-led exhibition space. The College sits beside the South London Gallery in one of the city’s most vibrant, urban boroughs – a lively, friendly place brimming with artists’ studios. Come to Camberwell and you will notice a strong set of values – of equality and fairness, of respect and tolerance, and a real sense of place and connection with the world around us. The College has an extensive range of professional workshops and facilities, including a Digital Media Centre, one of the largest printmaking centres in the UK, open access ceramic, wood, metal and plastic workshops, and various specialist darkrooms, processing rooms and photographic studios. Central Saint Martins Generations of internationally renowned artists, designers and performers – individuals whose work has defined or transformed our times – began their creative journeys at Central Saint Martins (CSM). After 150 years, CSM now has an award-winning home in a vast refurbished Victorian granary at the heart of London’s developing cultural quarter of King’s Cross, with further classrooms and studios close by in Archway. The College’s workspaces are the backbone of its courses, providing a place for students to make and create. These include workshops for casting, ceramics, digital printing, fashion, jewellery, knitting, letterpress, metal, painting, photography, post-production, weaving and woodwork, amongst other resources. With nearly 5,000 students, CSM has a palpable creative energy, which drives its close working relationships with the creative industries. Its shows, exhibitions, events, publications and research outputs make it a major force. The College best suits independent, risk-taking students who embrace the freedom of self-direction. 8 arts.ac.uk/studyabroad 9 London College of Communication London College of Communication (LCC) works at the cutting edge of new thinking so its students are ready to launch their careers and define the future of the creative industries. Located in a busy part of London, LCC lists the London Eye, the Southbank film, art and theatre complex, and Shakespeare’s Globe amongst its near neighbours. Its 5,000 students take full advantage of the outstanding facilities of this unique institution, which include photographic and TV studios, darkrooms, interactive media and animation suites, broadcast and print newsrooms as well as specialist printing, printmaking and letterpress workshops.

  • Media Information New University of the Arts London Campus Central Saint Martins at King’S Cross
    Media Information © 2011 New University of the Arts London Campus Central Saint Martins at King’s Cross Project Description October 2011 To the north of King’s Cross and St Pancras International railway stations, 67-acres of derelict land are being transformed in what is one of Europe’s largest urban regeneration projects. The result will be a vibrant mixed-use quarter, at the physical and creative heart of which will be the new University of the Arts London campus, home of Central Saint Martins College of Arts and Design. Stanton Williams’ design for the £200m new campus unites the college’s activities under one roof for the first time. It provides Central Saint Martins with a substantial new building, connected at its southern end to the Granary Building, a rugged survivor of the area’s industrial past. The result is a state-of-the-art facility that not only functions as a practical solution to the college’s needs but also aims to stimulate creativity, dialogue and student collaboration. A stage for transformation, a framework of flexible spaces that can be orchestrated and transformed over time by staff and students where new interactions and interventions, chance and experimentation can create that slip-steam between disciplines, enhancing the student experience. The coming together of all the schools of Central Saint Martins will open up that potential. The design aims to maximise the connections between departments within the building, with student and material movement being considered 3-dimensionally, as a flow diagram North to South, East to West, and up and down – similar in many ways to how the grain was distributed around the site using wagons and turntables.

  • The Seven Ages of Musical Theatre: the Life Cycle of the Child Performer
    UNIVERSITY OF SOUTHAMPTON The Seven Ages of Musical Theatre: The life cycle of the child performer by Lyndsay Barnbrook A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Humanities Faculty School of Music April 2016 \A person's a person, no matter how small." Dr. Seuss UNIVERSITY OF SOUTHAMPTON Abstract Humanities Faculty School of Music Doctor of Philosophy The Seven Ages of Musical Theatre: The life cycle of the child performer by Lyndsay Barnbrook The purpose of the research reported here is to explore the part played by children in musical theatre. It aims to do this on two levels. It presents, for the first time, an historical analysis of involvement of children in theatre from its earliest beginnings to the current date. It is clear from this analysis that the role children played in the evolution of theatre has been both substantial and influential, with evidence of a number of recurring themes. Children have invariably made strong contributions in terms of music, dance and spectacle, and have been especially prominent in musical comedy. Playwrights have exploited precocity for comedic purposes, innocence to deliver difficult political messages in a way that is deemed acceptable by theatre audiences, and youth, recognising the emotional leverage to be obtained by appealing to more primitive instincts, notably sentimentality and, more contentiously, prurience. Every age has had its child prodigies and it is they who tend to make the headlines. However the influence of educators and entrepreneurs, artistically and commercially, is often underestimated. Although figures such as Wescott, Henslowe and Harris have been recognised by historians, some of the more recent architects of musical theatre, like Noreen Bush, are largely unheard of outside the theatre community.

    1 Helen Abbott I studied a BA in Acting at Royal Conservatoire of Scotland and an MA in Shakespeare and Theatre, and am now a theatre director and practitioner. I also work on new scripts as a dramaturg. I was the 2017 recipient of the John Fernald Award which led to my role as AD for Persuasion at the Royal Exchange Theatre and in 2018 I co-founded the theatre company Light Bulbs in Soil. I love creating work, whether from scripted material or devised. I am always amazed at how a group of individuals can go from discussing a concept to performing inspirational pieces of drama that can educate and entertain. I am particularly interested in how classical work can be re-imagined for the audience of today. Check out Helen’s AiR offerings here. ​ ​ Emmy Abrahamson I am a former ISTA student and have worked as an actor, director and acting teacher. I am also a bestselling author of four young adult books and three for adults —which is weird since all I’ve ever wanted to do is theatre. I’m Swedish/Polish, currently live in Sweden and have boy/girl twins. I love entertaining people through stories. A story should have truth in it, in whatever shape or form. My philosophy is always: 'Just do it' as well as: 'What’s the worst that could happen?'. On their deathbed no-one ever wished they had watched more TV.

In the past, this topic has been approached mainly from a sociological perspective, notably in Mark Evans’ influential book on the subject. This time, Mirodan asks what effect dance-inspired approaches had not only on the bodies, but also on the aesthetic and spiritual development of actors trained by luminaries such as Michel Saint Denis, Rudolf Laban, Litz Pisk, Yat Malmgren, Jacques Lecoq and their disciples. Vladimir Mirodan, PhD, FRSA is Emeritus Professor of Theatre, University of the Arts London. Trained on the Directors Course at Drama Centre London, he has directed over 50 productions in the UK as well as internationally and has taught and directed in most leading drama schools in the UK. He was Vice-Principal and Director of Drama at the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland, Principal of Drama Centre London and Director of Development and Research Leader, Drama and Performance, Central Saint Martins. He is a former Chairman of the Conference of Drama Schools and a Deputy Chair of the National Council for Drama Training.

  • Federation of Drama Schools Response to Covid-19 Pandemic
    Federation of Drama Schools Response to Covid-19 Pandemic The Federation of Drama Schools (FDS) represents twenty of the United Kingdom’s leading providers of professional conservatoire performance and technical training. As a community of artists, creators, and innovators, we have come together during the Covid-19 pandemic to provide support, guidance, reassurance and inspiration to our students, staff, graduates, alumni, colleagues and friends within the creative industries. The scale and impact of the coronavirus crisis has been significant upon our sector and related industries, which holds dear the ethos of embodied practice and the necessity of physical interaction in pursuit of understanding and celebrating the human condition. Whilst we are unable to determine the duration of the outbreak we are united in meeting the societal and educational challenges we collectively face with a shared determination and limitless imagination. Each of the FDS member institutions appreciates the scale and complexity of the challenges presented as a consequence of having to deliver conservatoire training programmes via online platforms. However, we also appreciate that we have no option in the present circumstances and therefore it is incumbent upon us to provide confidence, leadership and hope. Each school recognises that whilst the learning experience will be different, we remain committed to ensuring that excellence and high standards of professional practice are maintained in pursuit of continuing to deliver world leading performance and technical training programmes despite the challenges. All schools have had to migrate audition and recruitment processes online at very short notice. We recognise the limitations of this process, however, we are all committed to ensuring that access, opportunity and experience will remain robust, rigorous and fair.
