Harry Jackson BSc ( Hons ) Acting for Stage and Screen graduate
Graduate Harry is Artistic Director for Amplify Time Productions , which was awarded funding from the Student Development Fund .
This funding helped Harry ’ s theatre projects get off the ground , allowed his company to support 30 students in a classical production of Doctor Faustus by Christopher Marlowe and to perform Antigone by Anne Carson at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival . These productions allowed the students to widen their personal skill sets , get company experience , and had an opportunity to show what they could do and market themselves for future work outside of the University and in industry .
Harry said : “ Amplify is bringing arts into Scotland and supporting students . By producing shows open to the public , we are contributing to the culture of Edinburgh and showing friends , family , professionals and other creatives what we have achieved , alongside an amazing show experience that can be enjoyed by all . I cannot put into words my gratitude and thanks to the Student Development Fund . The support it gave helped students such as myself and all those in Amplify Time Productions opportunities to shine and show our skills and talent in their individual rights ”.
Harry ’ s company is now based within the BIZ at QMU , where he benefits from access to small business start-up support and guidance from the campus-based Business Gateway , as well as QMU ’ s rehearsal facilities .
