Support the revolution
Shizaru, the fourth monkey of the fable does ‘nothing other than good.’
This forms the central tenet of our mission as a charity arts organisation.
​
Whether as a higher education provider training actors and creatives; a producing house delivering new work by emerging artists; or through our extensive community outreach work - our goal is to effect positive and lasting change.
​
Given the precarious state of the arts sector and the cost of living crisis, there has never been a more urgent need to support emerging artists and creatives - especially those in, or about to embark on, professional training.
Your donations will directly support the livelihoods and future generation of artists and creatives in the UK.
Our scheme is designed to increase accessibility to training and employment in the sector and is targeted at supporting those most in need of that support.
THe work
We are the originators of the No-Fee Drama School audition and have awarded over £350,000 of scholarships since 2010.
The generosity of our supporters enables our work to reach even more young people and provide bursaries and scholarships to support course fees and living costs for students facing financial hardship.
​
Your donations support the following initiatives:
Travel Bursaries - for those requiring assistance accessing in-person recall auditions for our undergraduate and postgraduate training
​
Scholarships – a financial award contribution toward student course fees
​
Student Living Bursary – a financial bursary award to support student living whilst in training
​
Emerging Artist Programme – for graduates embarking on the creation of original work alongside free professional mentorship and rehearsal space.​
From Inspiration to Graduation and beyond. Our approach is holistic, progressive and artist focussed.
The Impact
£500 – Delivers 2 free access and participation workshops for up to 60 young people within the UK
​
£1000 – Facilitates 40 free undergraduate course auditions
£5000 – Provides a 50% bursary for a whole year for an undergraduate student
>£5000 - Enables us to offer multiple bursaries for students in need of support
​
As a donor, you'll enjoy a range of benefits including complementary tickets to performances, such as showcase and graduation, alongside invitations to exclusive events and gatherings. Check out the packages available below.
We are immensely grateful for all levels of contribution (any amount can be pledged at any time) and anonymity is carefully respected, if requested.
