Help me get to London to perform in one of the most prestigious youth Drama festivals

Auckland

This year I was lucky enough to be invited over to the UK to perform in one of their most renowned youth theatre festivals. On March 22nd myself and 19 other students will be leaving for Bristol to perform a new play Remote, written by esteemed Royal Theatre playwright Stef Smith. We will be performing at the Bristol Old Vic (one of England’s oldest theatres, pictured) before going to London to attend workshops with internationally celebrated theatre companies such as Frantic Assembly and Theatre de Complicite.

However as I’m sure you can imagine it is a costly trip. Both of my parents are self employed so our families income has never been certain. I am currently working two part time jobs and have managed to raise quite a bit but I'm not quite there yet!

Be it $1 or $100 you have brought me that much closer to a trip which will put me on a stage in front of some the worlds most passionate theatre goers. As well as giving me the opportunity to push and develop myself as an actor

Murdoch Keane's involvement (page creator)

Acting from a young age has always been my favourite thing to do with my spare time. What I loved about it was that for an hour of two everyday you get to be someone else and live often a more exciting or dramatic life. But best of all you got to do it for friends, family (but most often complete strangers) and see their reactions. Be it happy, sad, confused or frustrated, making people feel things through acting has always made me so invigorated.

$1000 MISSION COMPLETION  5 March 2015

DELIGHTFUL PEOPLE! What a total to wake up to! I can very happily confirm as of this moment that my trip has been completely funded :))) what ever is donated now will be considered walking around money in London. The coming weeks leading up to this have been an enormous amount of effort on the behalf of me and my loving parents. Now I can truly see that this combination of love and hard work (mostly over a deep fryer destroying my skin) is a winning one. Thank you thank you thank you all. I will aim to get an individual message to every single person who donated because you are all sublime. We did it

Rock on xox

Good luck Murdoch. Follow your dreams! They tend to lead to the most interesting places and be they cul de sacs or yellow brick roads there will always be something to be loved, learned, let go or luxuriated in.
