Abstract
- This paper takes, as it's starting point, the statements of solidarity with Black and non-White students in UK drama schools which were issued in the summer of 2020 and tracks the commitments made against the writers, directors and actors who took part in the graduation shows of the following academic year. It analyses how (or if) change of representation was established in the sector as a whole and also on an institution-by-institution basis. Suggestions are made as to further changes that could be made in the actor training sector, and, by implication, all higher educational establishments. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
