This student director brought young talent to light

Emily Pottle, a final year student at the Performers College Brighton, studying BA (Hons) Musical Theatre created this music video with under privileged young artists as part of her dissertation. NYAT supported Emily in her vision to fruition this piece of musical work.

“This video was my first professional project I both directed and choreographed. It was such an amazing process and I couldn’t have asked for a better Trust to collaborate with. NYAT was amazing with helping out in any way they could and their communication was outstanding. This project took nearly a year to put together but overall I couldn’t be happier with the outcome – I would do it all over again if I could. I hope that everyone will appreciate the video and all of the fabulous cast and crew that were involved with the making of this piece.” – Emily Pottle ( EP)
