Uni Tour

Yesterday I went for my tour of the university. I have to say I was impressed. All the equipment is state of the art, industry standard stuff. There are major theatres, recording studios, motion capture rooms, dance studios, all sorts. Professional theatre groups, musicians, dancers etc come in to work with the students or to put on performances. They also have casting agents, directors & producers come to watch student work. The course is very industry based, & covers a very broad spectrum of theatre arts. And the place was massive! I am definitely aching from all the walking yesterday. And we only saw one part of it!

                                                 A small section of the Performance Centre

                                                                   The entrance area

As you can see, it was a typical Cornish winter day! We had a while to wait, so we were sent into the restaurant/ bar area, where I had a pasty the size of a small aircraft carrier! Tastier though, I imagine! We also went to see some of the accommodation. We saw the on-campus accommodation, & also The Sidings up near the station. The Sidings would definitely be my first choice, particularly one of the self-contained studios. That would be so much better for me due to my health issues, my Aspergers, & the fact that I will be nearly 20 years older than most of the other students!

I didn't take any photos of the inside of the performance centre, I was too busy looking round! I am rather nervous about going, hoping I can live up to it all! The student ambassador showing us around said that the uni was very selective in who they took, so hopefully that's a good sign that they think I'm good enough!
