OVER THE LAST YEAR we have been sharing stories of our talented alumni to mark the 50th anniversary of drama and performing arts education at QMU . Despite the creative industries being one of the hardest hit sectors during the global pandemic , we continue to be inspired by the boundless creativity , passion and resilience of our drama and performance graduates who dedicate their working lives to the development of the sector . In this edition of the QMYOU , we continue to celebrate the talents and share the career paths of some of our incredible alumni . We also hope you can tune in to our first ever QMU Alumni Podcast ‘ Going Off Script With ...’ which provides a behind the scenes insight into the fascinating lives of some of our drama , performance and creative industry alumni ( see page 32 for further details of our podcast series ).
Last year , we were unable to hold our annual Costume Design and Construction Showcase , which always forms a highlight of the University calendar . However , in September 2021 , we presented a digital exhibition that brought to life the individual talent and creativity of our students .
Our final year acting and performance students helped model costumes in an indoor and outdoor photoshoot . We ’ re delighted to give you a glimpse of that showcase which offers an insight into the hard work that our 2021 costume design and construction students put into their unique creations .
Each costume is a visual delight - each one tells its own story and brings to life a unique character . The level of detail and care which has gone into every item takes the viewer on a journey , whether that is back in time or to the fantastical future . ❒
