First Creative Constellations Drama Student Bursary Awarded

We are delighted to announce the first ever recipient of the Creative Constellations Drama Student Bursary to Daniel Stanton-Wright, a second year student at Mountview Academy.

Awarded by Yellow Earth and provided by actor Orion Lee, this bursary aims to encourage and promote greater participation and representation of East Asian actors on stage and screen. The bursary will ease the pathway for a British East Asian graduating student to professional actor by providing £1,000 towards Spotlight fees, headshots and similar expenses.

Daniel will be present with his award in the autumn at the gala performance of Dim Sum Nights More. He commented, “As any Drama School student will know, training in London is a very expensive 3 years of your life, the final year more so - demanding additional costs for essentials such as headshots and Spotlight membership. Coming from a family with a low income, I can’t express how grateful I am to Yellow Earth for awarding me their bursary."

We were impressed with all the candidates we saw and making a decision was not easy but Daniel's obvious ability and passion for acting won through. We look forward to following his progress in the future and feel confident he will be a positive addition to the growing pool of talented BEA actors.
