Julie Spencer, Director of the School of Acting at ArtsEd featured in two articles this week discussing the evolution of drama training and the drive for change, especially in regard to representation in conservatoires.

Bush Theatre held a conversation with Julie on their platform ‘Bush Green’, where Julie spoke about her experiences as a black woman in the arts, and how she has developed the acting courses at ArtsEd to better reflect the cohort of students:

“[The biggest change I’ve made is] being a woman, and Black, and just being here. I also think broadening the curriculum so that students can learn through their own lens shows you how extraordinary, young Black and Brown students are. They have been learning through someone else’s lens all this time and they’re still succeeding, they’re still willing. But they’re still learning through someone else’s lens. That takes so much time and energy and resilience to be able to do that. My thing is about learning through your own lens. You cannot learn through a 40-year-old white man’s lens, which is what people have been doing.”

This was shortly followed by an article in The Stage by Lyn Gardener, discussing how drama schools should go about adapting with the times, gathering opinions from across the sector. Julie stands proudly on the side of change:

“Actor training can’t remain static. If you have different students in the room, you have to respond to that. It’s about widening the canon and the curriculum, not losing rigour, […] when you shift privilege, there are always people who complain something is being lost”.

No one could have predicted the pivotal role Brian E. Cook would play in ArtsEd’s history, particularly following his first encounter with the school. Stepping in to cover a handful of drama classes for a friend in 1966, Brian felt that the actor training lacked focus and depth, particularly compared to the dance provision at the time. Much to his surprise, just one year later, he was asked to help set up ArtsEd’s first dedicated drama course to address these very observations.  A mutual agreement was made that Brian would be given two years to get the course established, and he in turn would guarantee the same. Brian ended up staying for ten years, creating a renowned drama training programme and lasting legacy.

Alongside Lisle Jones and Hilary Wood, Brian launched the drama course in September 1968. Calling on his experience and contacts as an actor and director, Brian brought in tutors and guest directors from the industry, an important aspect of the training that continues today. Having previously worked with Brian Way, Founder of Theatre Centre and pioneer of Theatre in Education, Brian was amongst the first to provide students with the opportunity to explore this work and perform in local schools. He led the team during the school’s move to the old Cripplegate Institute at the Barbican in 1969, which would become known as Golden Lane House. It was here that Brian helped to cement the course’s future by securing course validation from the Department of Education. This recognition was critical in providing vital access to tuition fee funding for a number of students and it wasn’t long before funding was made available to all students, thanks to further accreditation through the Conference of Drama Schools, also established by Brian.

In just a few short years under Brian’s leadership, graduates of the newly formed drama course were entering the industry and securing professional work, despite the tough competition at the time…

“In view of Equity’s report in 1970 that more people are being trained for the theatre than the profession can absorb, it is encouraging that few of the drama students have found difficulty in obtaining employment.” Mr V.B.V Powell, Secretary to the Arts Educational Trust, May 1972

In 1976, Brian and Bridget Crowley (Head of Dance) saw a missed opportunity in drama school training and created what’s believed to be the first dedicated musical theatre course, restructuring what was known at the time as the mixed ‘Fifty Fifty’ course. This musical theatre course would grow into the internationally renowned training that we are known for today, thanks in part to Brian’s role in clarifying and strengthening the school’s offering of dedicated courses.

In 1978 Brian left ArtsEd to take his place at theological college and train as a Priest. Even after his departure, the legacy of his work lived on and he remained connected to ArtsEd for many years through Yvette his wife, who also taught on the drama and musical theatre courses.

Brian E. Cook will be remembered as an important and influential figure in ArtsEd’s 100 year history. He helped lay the foundations for the school as we now know it and left a lasting impact on those who were fortunate enough to be taught by him.

Congratulations to Chris Coleman (stage name: CJ Coleman) who is in the final year of his BA Acting degree at ArtsEd, and is the recent recipient of a Sir John Gielgud Bursary Award!  

Just twenty-two bursaries are awarded annually by the Sir John Gielgud Charitable Trust, to talented students at leading drama schools around the UK.  The funds provided help students in their final year, easing the challenging transition from drama training to life as a working actor. 

Chris developed his passion for acting at Durham School, where he was awarded a Drama Scholarship. He expanded his skills at Northern Star Theatre Arts in Sunderland. Chris began his time at ArtsEd on their Foundation Acting course, successfully moving onto the three-year degree course in 2018.  

Throughout his time at ArtsEd, Chris has proved his dedication and strong work ethic, which has been recognised by his colleagues and teachers. The Director of the School of Acting, Julie Spencer said:  

“Chris is so deserving of the Sir John Gielgud Award and is an exemplary student. Congratulations from The School of Acting team for his achievement!”  

Over the last couple of years, drama training has been accused of being elitist and financially inaccessible.  Julie Spencer is committed to ensuring that talent, not money, is the key criteria to accessing ArtsEd’s industry leading training.  She said: 

“If you’re good enough to be here, if you have the potential we’re looking for, I’ll move mountains to make it happen. We offer places based on ability, not bank balance. Our regional auditions demonstrate my commitment to removing as many barriers as possible for those who want to pursue an acting career.” 

Thrilled with the award, Chris said:  

“To win this award is such a privilege, I cannot express my gratitude enough not only to the Trust for awarding it to me, but also to ArtsEd for nominating me for it. It is a real honour and one that fills me with pride!  

It’s truly mind-boggling to think that I’m now in my third and final year of the course, and my fourth year of being at ArtsEd including the Foundation Acting course. I have deeply cherished my time at the school, where I have made friendships for life. The school has not only developed my skills as a performer, but as a person as well – and for that I am so grateful. It has been an incredible journey, and I am so excited to see what this next year has in store for all of us!” 

Geri Feeney, Principal of Northern Star Theatre Arts, is thrilled that Chris has received such a significant award, and recalls fondly his time at the Sunderland school: 

“Chris trained at Northern Star when he was younger, and it was clear from our first meeting that he possessed a real flair and natural talent for acting. We are all incredibly proud of his achievements and look forward to following his career.” 

ArtsEd Sixth Form students have taken on 2020 with positivity and determination, which is certainly reflected in the excellent results achieved this year. Current restrictions due to Covid-19 meant that students received their results via email and then had the opportunity to connect virtually with the curriculum team if they wished to do so. 

On Thursday 13th August, students celebrated brilliant A Level and BTEC results, achieving 89% A*-B, with 50% of all results being A* and A, and BTEC results are once again 100% DDD or better, with 83% at D*D*D* – equivalent to three A Levels at A and A* respectively. 

Many students have been accepted into excellent drama schools and universities, such as: Bird College, Trinity Laban Conservatoire of Music and Dance, ArtsEd BA (Hons) and Foundation courses, London Studio Centre, Central School of Speech & Drama, NYU Tisch School of Performing Arts, East 15, University of Arts London, University of Surrey, Queen Mary University of London, University of Surrey, Bristol University and Warwick University.  

Meanwhile, some students have gone straight into professional work, with Isabella Pappas set to play the protagonist’s 16-year-old daughter Charlotte in new six-part ITV drama: Finding Alice, starring; Keeley Hawes, Joanna Lumley, ArtsEd alumnus and Patron, Nigel Havers, Jason Merrells, Gemma Jones, Kenneth Cranham and Sharon Rooney. 

A slightly different results day, with online celebrations rather than in-person, Adrian Blake, ArtsEd’s Day School and Sixth Form Headteacher said:  

“This year our students have been living the ArtsEd values like never before, with Resilience, Teamwork, and Empathy being necessary qualities every single day.  Year 13 have faced so many challenges, and their A Level and BTEC results demonstrate the strengths they have as performers, as learners, and as people, and I am so proud of every single one of them. As a cohort they have achieved excellent results. This is a fantastic achievement in any school year, but under the difficult conditions of 2020, this group have still been able to shine. I wish them every success as they take their next steps, and I know we will see them all again – not only at their graduation event at ArtsEd in December, but following their dreams on stage and screen.”   

Mark Ferrington, Head of Sixth Form said: 

“I am immensely proud of each and every student. This year has been so difficult, but we are celebrating many fantastic results and amazing destinations for our Sixth Form students. We wish them all the very best and look forward to seeing them all again at our graduation event later in the year”. 

ISI Report, November 2019: “The teaching is excellent – it is a principal factor in the high levels of achievement at all levels” 

Sixth Form student, Imi Hasna said:

“I wouldn’t have achieved these results if I wasn’t continuously and persistently motivated by the teachers at ArtsEd. Their phenomenal drive and excellent care for each and every one of us really proves to be a unique and successful way to make sure students are pushed to be their best, whilst maintaining their general well-being. The special thing about ArtsEd was that I felt personally looked after, but challenged at the same time – and that’s how all schools should be! I’m very happy and proud to be going to Warwick this autumn, and I must thank ArtsEd for helping me get there over the last two years.” 

Another Year 13 student, Eoin McCaul said: 

“Lots of strange emotions this morning (didn’t open my emails until half ten!) but feeling weirdly calm now. It’s been so lovely hearing from everyone getting their results this morning and remembering all the time and love spent in the last two years. It’s still incredibly surreal to be finishing our courses in this manner but I know I can’t wait to see everyone in the next few months and have these celebrations in person!” 

Lastly, Year 13 student, Noga Levy said: 

“ArtsEd supported me to grow as a person and throughout my A level journey, and I couldn’t be more grateful to the school for helping me achieve such amazing results. I look forward to staying in touch even as I start my journey at Warwick University!”

The last few months have been full of unprecedented challenges that pupils and staff at ArtsEd have been rising to with creativity, commitment and a bucket load of ingenuity. The most recent triumph was the Day School & Sixth Form Prize Giving. 

Produced and curated by our brilliant staff and hosted on online, the Prize Giving featured performances from pupils, speeches from teachers and prizes awarded to celebrate the pupils’ impressive achievements throughout the year.   

And as the icing on the cake, a series of fabulous ArtsEd alumni popped up to host, including prima ballerina Darcey Bussell, Charlie’s Angel’s star Ella Balinska, West End performer and Strictly star, Danny Mac and Day School, Sixth Form and School of Musical Theatre alumnus Isaac Gryn.

The stars of the future shone as well, with wonderful performances from Day School and Sixth Form pupils. You can watch our Year 13 performance of ‘You Learn’ right now from the comfort of your own home:

“I am so proud of ArtsEd pupils for continuing to excel in everything that they do in the face of this year’s extraordinary challenges.

In February 2019, Julie Spencer, Director of the School of Acting, commissioned two world premieres from leading playwrights Lucy Chau Lai-Tuen and Vivienne Franzmann. Part of our long-standing New Writing project, the development of the plays put our BA Acting students at the heart of the creative process. Lucy and Vivienne worked closely with the students over the course of several terms, drawing on their experiences, interests and concerns to shape the narratives.   

In a normal year, the plays, Babel and Kate Spencer Did A Good Thing, would be the final showcases for our BA Acting graduates, working with well-established directors, proceeded by a five-week rehearsal schedule and culminating with performances in the Andrew Lloyd Webber Foundation Theatre. As Lockdown loomed, it became clear that a different approach would be required.  

In the 101 days since ArtsEd closed its doors, an extraordinary creative collaboration has ensured that this essential strand of the students’ professional development has been maintained.  Our BA Acting curriculum is 40% screen-based with self-taping a core part of the 2nd year curriculum. This experience, alongside the expertise within our TV & Film department, means that ArtsEd students were uniquely equipped to take on the challenges presented by lockdown. 

When building closure was confirmed Julie Spencer, Director of the School of Acting and Kim Vithana, Head of Film & TV created the idea of digital frameworks for each story. Directors, Ameera Conrad and Mingyu Lin, joined forces with Vivienne and Lucy to adapt the works to these new contexts. 

Remote rehearsal schedules saw Ameera and Mingyu work with the students both individually and in small groups, delving into the heart of each tale. At the same time our IT team established the platforms for the finished products.   

The resulting screenings have been received with enthusiasm by the industry. They are testament to the commitment, confidence and creativity of the BA Acting Class of 2020 and to the ingenuity and resourcefulness of the creative teams and the School of Acting staff.  

You can now watch the plays for free online!:

Wonderful messages of love and support describe Graham as a true gent, a talented actor and someone who was always keen to help others, making the Bursary a particularly fitting way to remember him. 

Generous donations from friends and family already total over £2,000, an amazing contribution to the goal of £5,000.  If you would like to remember Graham and make a donation you can click here.
