The event, which was hosted by young people who are studying the new
courses, showcased some of the exciting projects they are embarking on
and the production and performing arts disciplines they are learning.
Claire Middleton, Principal at Rose Bruford College, said: This
collaboration with Lewisham College embodies Rose Bruford College’s
commitment to removing barriers to Higher Education – our offers of
places are aspirational, based on each individual’s talent and potential
and not just on exam grades. We pride ourselves on offering fair access
to students from all backgrounds. We are looking forward to working
with all students at Lewisham College, to giving them a truly excellent
student experience and to creating the change-makers of the future.
During the event, attendees had the opportunity to join a live tour
of the College and the departments facilities with students Lakeisha
Nibi and Azaria Kabengele, who will be studying American Theatre Arts at
Rose Bruford in September.

Asfa Sohail, Principal at Lewisham College, said: We are
committed to inspiring excellence. We are always looking to offer
courses designed to equip our students with the industry knowledge and
skills they need to become well-rounded professionals and achieve their
goals.
Working with our community partners is in the DNA of everything
we do, and we are immensely proud to be working in conjunction with Rose
Bruford College of Theatre and Performance to reconnect with aspiring
professionals in Lewisham and to support the new generation of creatives
as they progress in their chosen career path within the creative
industry.
