What were we looking for?
The CCP Student Award seeks entrants who are not only talented actors, but also industrious and spirited individuals. As well as artistic talent, they should be keen to exploit new avenues or new methods of working and ensure that there remains an industry that can support actors who need to make a living. The winning entrants may have done any number of things: Set up showcases or theatre companies; campaigned for actors rights; worked to safeguard performance venues for the future or created novel income streams for independent productions.

What they will certainly have done however, is demonstrate a commitment to the profession along with a passion and energy for their craft which extends beyond the stage. They must demonstrate to the panel that they have the drive and talent to make a positive impression on the industry and also that they would make use of the prize in a way that would help them to succeed in their aims.

The other shortlisted candidates were:

Thomas Hare
GSA Conservatoire

Emma Laird Craig

Olivia Neville

Suzanne Nixon
