"Hiya all, I’m Erin, I study Performing Arts at Hillsborough campus. I wanted to write a little article about the recent performances we have put on as our Final Major Project (FMP)...
Embedded Files
The first FMP was called Blue Stockings:
'In Jessica Swale's debut play, Blue Stockings, Tess Moffat and her fellow first years are determined to win the right to graduate. But little do they anticipate the hurdles in their way: the distractions of love, the cruelty of the class divide or the strength of the opposition, who will do anything to stop them.'
In the show I played Ceila who is one of the 4 girls that go to Girton college which was the women’s college at that time, connected to Cambridge. I really enjoyed my time in the show and would do it again in a heartbeat!
The second FMP that was performed was a modern day Alice in Wonderland - called Alice:
'Follow Alice as she escapes her Sheffield home to find adventure in a topsy-turvy world. Based on Lewis Carroll's classic tale, Alice breathes fresh life into a much-loved story about rabbit holes, pocket watches and talking caterpillars.'
Unfortunately I didn't get a chance to see this show but I heard it was amazing and I am gutted I didn’t get to see it."
There are more performances & shows coming soon, so keep an eye out and don't miss them!

New helpline available for The Sheffield College students
If you are in College and you need emotional or personal help, your Personal Tutor, Student Mentor or member of delivery team will be there to do that.
However, problems and worries often happen outside of college times. This is why the Sheffield College has launched the Student Assistance Programme. This is an external agency that offers a 24/7 helpline of support. All phone calls are answered by trained Councillors who are able to guide, support and signpost. The leaflet also has the number included.
Health Assured have a fantastic App called 'My Health Advantage' which as a Sheffield College student you can download. There are lots of: podcasts, fitness advice, and well-being tips. There are instructions on how to download the App and the unique code you will need in the SHAPE Your Future Google classroom. If you can't find this, ask your tutor.
