<div>Hi beautiful souls! I am delighted to announce, I have been selected out of 1200 applicants to join the cohort of 18: This years <strong>National Youth Theatre REP Company.</strong> I am so very excited to finally start training to professionally actualise my acting dreams.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>(the why)</strong> The NYT REP Company is FREE (!) which is amazing but although the course is free to do, living in London is not. <em>A Doncaster babe moving to London ahhhhh! </em>
</div>
<div><strong>NYT REP is a full-time and intensive course so I won't be able to work for the duration of the course so, <em>I am fundraising to raise money to go towards rent, utilities, and food expenses while I do the course.</em></strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>What</strong> is NYT REP Company?
</div>
<div>The REP aims to prepare NYT Members for a successful career as an actor. REP Members have previously been mentored by industry professionals and received Q&amp;As and classes from visiting tutors and partners including the National Theatre, BBC Radio Drama, and the Royal Court to name a few.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The first 2 months of the course will be training with a break at the end of November which will give me a chance to do more fundraising or work. We pick back up at the start of January up until May, we will do two plays performing them in the UK; one of which will be in the West End. And then also a short film too, a new addition to this years REP and to mark the 70th anniversary of the Youth Theatre as a whole. An exciting time to be apart of the REP! #70
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Previous National Youth Theatre Alumni Include :</strong>
</div>
<div><strong>Zawe Ashton, Chiwetel Ejiofor, Sope Dirisu, Daisy Edgar-Jones, Daniel Craig, Sir Daniel Day-Lewis, Colin Firth, Rosamund Pike, Orlando Bloom, Catherine Tate, Dame Helen Mirren, Sir Ben Kingsley, Sir Derek Jacobi, Timothy Dalton, Matt Lucas, Hugh Bonneville and Matt Smith (THE DOCTOR IK)...</strong>

<div><em>"As good a way into the business of acting as any drama school."</em> - Ian McKellen

</div>
<div><strong>Little bit about my journey so far...</strong>
</div>
<div>I've been acting since I was 8 years old, training on Fridays at my local drama school. I fell in love with the craft. I wasn't too confident as an actor growing up. Nethertheless, it gave me an outlet to express myself as times were tough during my younger years. My dream was to go to drama school at 18, but as a working-class girlie, it was too expensive. A Politics degree seemed plausible as a landing mat, <em>"just-incase". </em>Durham Student Theatre, however, gave me so much confidence as an actor. Now, at 22, with heaps more autonomy.<em> I am ready to now put my heart, energy and soul in the daily life I deserve. </em>This career path is more to me. It is a spiritual practice, where I can alchemise emotions and understand myself and humanity so much more.
</div>

</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>When doing NYT Rep, agents, and casting directors are invited to attend the REP Season so this course is not just an amazing opportunity to evolve as an actor but to also be seen by the industry.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>I’m raising £3,000 </strong>to help cover my living expenses during the 9-month course in London. My rent is £770 per month, which adds up to £6,930 for the full term. Food &amp; Drink: £45 (per week) x 4 = £160 x 9 (months) = £1,440. I've set a realistic goal of 3000 to lift the heavy burden :)
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I know, we are in a cost of living crisis, believe me I can feel it. And, the world is that much dyer. But, the arts and the creative industry is more than ever needed as a guiding light that uplifts humanity's spark. If there is anything you can donate, every little helps truly, I would be ever so grateful. Any amount (no matter how small) will help me be fully focused on the task at hand and not have to worry about unnecessary stress.

<div>Thank you for reading and I wish all of you so many blessings :)

<div>All the love,
