How I applied to and got an offer for East 15

The first time I applied for East 15 Acting School (part of University of Essex) back in 2019, I did not get an offer from any of the courses I was interested in (BA Acting and BA Acting International). That year, I sent auditions to some of the most prestigious acting schools in England and Scotland, but the reality was, I hadn’t done any previous training, so all my self-tapes were quite amateur.

“Do Not Burn Art”: Sri Lanka’s Artful Struggles

In July 2022, an unprecedented protest movement against corruption, immiseration, and impunity swept Sri Lanka and forced the President to flee the country. One year on, a new exhibition at the University of Essex and a parallel exhibition at Harrow Arts Centre commemorate and contextualize these different struggles at a time of renewed austerity and repression.

Leaving home is never an easy transition, let alone leaving one’s country and travelling more than 24 hours away. Being an MA student at the University of Essex was my first time leaving India and I went into it not exactly knowing what to expect. But I took a chance, and it would go on to be the best plunge I’d ever take.
