I am delighted to welcome you to RSAMD’s<br />
<strong>Showcase</strong> 2009.<br />
Today you will see the work <strong>of</strong> this year’s<br />
graduate group from the BA <strong>Acting</strong><br />
programme. They are an excellent group <strong>of</strong><br />
students and we in the School <strong>of</strong> Drama will<br />
miss them tremendously when they leave us.<br />
However, in leaving us, they are embarking on<br />
their chosen careers, and we are extremely<br />
proud to have been part <strong>of</strong> their journey<br />
towards those careers.<br />
Throughout their training we have worked with<br />
them as pr<strong>of</strong>essionals-in-training. Our students<br />
and our staff form a community <strong>of</strong> pr<strong>of</strong>essional<br />
peers and these graduating students already<br />
view themselves as working actors. To date<br />
they have worked in a range <strong>of</strong> production<br />
projects for stage, screen and mobile media,<br />
and have worked with many pr<strong>of</strong>essional<br />
theatre companies. They have already a real<br />
connection to the pr<strong>of</strong>essional performance<br />
industries; as a consequence, they are eager to<br />
enter them fully.<br />
Your attendance here today is a vital final part<br />
<strong>of</strong> their training, as you provide them with<br />
interaction with an audience <strong>of</strong> their external<br />
pr<strong>of</strong>essional peers and potential employers. I<br />
thank you most sincerely for coming and for<br />
your support. We are enormously proud <strong>of</strong> all<br />
our students and wish them great good fortune<br />
in their careers.<br />
We hope that you will continue to engage with<br />
us and please do get in touch if we can be <strong>of</strong><br />
any assistance to you.<br />
