Help to get Amy a Masters Degree
Donation protected
My name is Amy Lawrence and I am an emerging choreographer interested in finding new and exciting ways of telling stories through dance.
I am thrilled to share that I have recently accepted an unconditional offer for an MA in Collaborative Theatre Making in association with Frantic Assembly at Coventry University starting in January 2019. I have also been fortunate enough to have been awarded a £2,000 bursary from Coventry University to assist with the course fees.
This is an incredible opportunity to train alongside award winning and world renowned physical theatre company Frantic Assembly (Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time, Things I Know to be True, Lovesong).
The fees for this course are £17,150 which is quite a bit higher than an average MA course fee but is reflective of the level of training the I will receive. My postgraduate loan covers £10,600 and with the £2,000 bursary I still need to raise £4,550.
I currently live in London and work 1 full time and 2 part time jobs to be able afford rent and living expenses, whilst saving for my MA. I have to work to support myself whilst studying, so I am opting to study part time. Because I will not be able to work as much if I am to truly benefit from this course, I am in the process of applying for support with my course fees through charitable and private organisations as well as generous individuals.
This course is made up of 7 modules which are worth 180 credits. A 20 credit module costs £1905.55.
A £500 donation today would make up the balance I need to cover the cost of a 20 credit module.
A £25 donation today would make up the balance I need to cover the cost of a single credit.
I believe this Masters Degree will go a long way to help me achieving my ambitions. Whilst I feel I have laid a good foundation in the work I have created so far, I believe this MA will give me the tools I need to become an independent theatre maker. My goal is to start my own company with the aim of creating more opportunities for female creatives within the theatre industry.
I would be so grateful if you would consider donating today. Any donations given, however big or small, will make a huge difference in helping me achieving my dreams. I can't express how exciting and important this opportunity is for me and how overwhelmed I am with the support I have received so far from friends and family, but I still have a long way to go.
If you are unable to make a donation today, please consider sharing this page on social media: it would go a long way to helping me reach my funding goal.
Thank you so much for taking the time to read my story - I couldn't do it without your support!
Love,
Amy

'This production shows great style, particularly in the rowdy and bawdy presentation of the Satyrs whose stompy tap-dancing rituals are carefully choreographed by Amy Lawrence to convey a real sense of danger and intimidation.'
★★★★- REVIEWS HUB
‘Utilising choreography by Amy Lawrence, the cast through movement and the spoken word indirectly give a context to the play’s 21st century world.’
★★★★★ – BREAKING THE FOURTH WALL
'And with Amy Lawrence's vigorous choreography, it is a joy to hammer in the New Year with some robust clog-dancing'
★★★★- FINANCIAL TIMES
'Choreography from Amy Lawrence launches the chorus of rampant satyrs into stirring clog routines — reviving hobnailed Yorkshire traditions and creating a kind of ancient Riverdance.'
★★★★- DAILY MAIL
‘The most horrifying of tales have been hand-selected in an artfully choreographed production to both scintillate and terrify... exquisite physical theatre’
- OFF WEST END
‘Amy Lawrence's swirling choreography for The Cold Embrace suits the Italian setting and the importance of the serpent ring given by the faithless lover to his intended bride.’
