Have you ever wondered what it would be like to take part in an experience of a lifetime in London? To see your passion through a different lens? There are tons of ways to further your education on whatever it is you wish, and SPC makes it easier than ever! There is nothing greater than being able to experience something amazing, with people you love. Getting the chance to study theatre abroad in London, England was one of the greatest opportunities I could have ever received. From the moment we got off the plane, and stepped into the wonderful world of London, I could tell I was going to have an incredible, and life-changing experience.
Seeing how different, yet similar the UK was, was unbelievable. The atmosphere was breath-taking. From the castles, to the villages, everything was perfectly imperfect. We managed to see four brilliant plays, over twenty different historical landmarks, took educational, and enlightening workshops, saw the birthplace, and resting place of William Shakespeare, and got to explore the city in just a week! Walking across the glass on the Tower Bridge was terrifying, yet exhilarating, seeing David Tennant perform in Don Juan in SoHo was like a dream, and seeing a new rendition of Romeo & Juliet featuring strobe lights, missiles, and club dancers was interesting, and amazing. This trip exceeded my expectations in all aspects. My perspective on life was most definitely changed for the better, and I couldn’t have done it without the study abroad crew, or our amazing instructor Scott.
I am forever grateful for this opportunity, and hope to study abroad again in the near future!
