Writing Talent
The Hotbed Festival in Cambridge, UK, is a showcase of new theatre writing talent. Many writers whose work has been featured at the festival are featured on the festival website, hotbedfest.co.uk. The festival has been such a success for some writers that they have managed to forge out careers in performing arts abroad – USA.
Additionally, the festival has encouraged amateur writers and performers to take up more formal study in their field. Several UK universities offer a bachelors degree in performing arts. For example, De Montfort University, in Leicester offers the opportunity to spend a few months studying performing arts abroad – USA.
Usually, second year students can spend between up to six months in the USA after the Christmas break. The have a great opportunity to meet new people at the US partner university and have some great learning experiences.
On the other hand, those who don’t have time to take up full-time study can volunteer with one of the projects concentrating on drama overseas. Additionally, those students who can’t meet the financial requirements for studying overseas can investigate some of the scholarships offered in performing arts abroad – USA.
Whatever ambitions that potential writers and artists have, the hotbedfest.co.uk site is a good place to start to research any future plans. In any case, performers can network with like-minded individuals and share experiences and opportunities.
