SECTION 1

Please indicate why you think this course would be of value to you.

Having studied in Musical Theatre for the past four years, I am ready to take the next step in my
training. I have always had a strong interest in screen acting, and I feel your course is the perfect
opportunity for me to further my education. I have done a lot of stage work in my life and now
would like to experience being in front of the camera. I have lived in Ireland all my life, and now
at 21 I would like to live in a new city and London is perfect. I have frequently visited London
and know the city well. I have some friends who have attended Central (Musical Theatre alumni),
and they have had nothing but praise. This course would also give me a great introduction to
new, exciting and creative minds I previously would not have been able to work with.

SECTION 2

Please detail any previous experience, and personal interests, that you think may be relevant to your application.

Cinema and television have always been a great interest of mine. From the performances to the
making of it, I have aways researched and investigated what I have seen. This course would give
me a great further insight into that. I have worked on films as an extra and enjoyed the process,
now I feel it is time to make the next step.
