At the start of our new academic year, we are excited to announce the opening of the new Central Student Centre – a one-stop hub for Student Services at Central which offers the convenience of meeting all student support needs in one place.
We're delighted to share news of alumna Cecilia Noble's nomination for an Evening Standard Theatre Award, and share a full list of the graduates who worked on this year's shortlisted productions.
In October, Central welcomed members of the industry to the School for its 2019 Hosts Afternoon. The annual event provides an opportunity for current students who are about to embark on their industry placements to meet with their hosts and to get tips and advice from staff, alumni and leaders in the field on making the most of their time in residence with leading arts organisations and schools.
From 2-3 October, Central hosted Collisions 2019, an annual festival of practice research in performance, Collisions is an annual festival that showcases the thriving doctoral practice research community at Central and across London institutions more broadly. Through Collisions, research degree students and creative fellows engage with what it means to be researching with, though, in and by practice, and share this engagement with a wider academic and public audience.
