Stories
I really enjoyed the diversity and flexibility of my course, and how I got to tailor my time at Bruford to my specific interests and skill sets. The practical approach to learning meant I was immediately thrown into environments and situations that taught me how to respond and work in contexts that better mimic professional experiences.

Some universities tend to focus only on theatre, however, MA Light in Performance provides experiences in dance, theatre, concerts and more. This is very important for early years lighting practitioners. I was previously interested in working for the concert touring industry, but as I experienced rock festivals and rock concerts, I changed my mind and was more interested in musical theatre. Real-world experiences help decide your future career, and it really helped my career decisions.
