Post Graduate Development

 

AsCend is an exciting extension to our work and is a collaborative, contemporary arm to the company, providing first job opportunities to the cream of Arts University Bournemouth Graduate Acting Students. 

For this season 2020/21, we are pleased to introduce Tish Mantripp  who graduated with a first-class honours for Costume and Performance Design in 2019, specialising in Scenography at the Arts University Bournemouth. For our current production, ‘Mary Anning Lost in Time’, she has created a wonderfully innovative set design, evoking the style and period perfectly  – yet with a modern twist

During her time at AUB she was set designer for: Helen Edmundson’s Mary Shelley;  The RSC version of The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe, and scenic artist for three shows; designing and making many props too.  She has recently completed an MA  at the Bristol Old Vic Theatre School. AsOne wishes her well in her future career.

Combining crafted storytelling with simple, inventive design, AsCend’s emphasis is quality, multi-media performance, and a strong connection to our audiences. AsCend was conceived as an adjunct to AsOne Theatre Company, to provide a stimulating work experience for recent theatre practitioner graduates; facilitating a worthwhile launch pad into our industry, whilst gaining new skills and working along-side experienced professional practitioners on all aspects of production, rehearsal and touring. AsCend aim to create fresh, inventive pieces of theatre using either existing text and/or new writing; seeking excellence in all aspects of production, design, devising, writing, composing, and performance. We are keen to equip each AsCend apprentice with an excellent reference, launching them into a fruitful performing arts career; whilst informing, engaging and entertaining a wide audience.
