Bristol Old Vic Theatre School Limited REPORTOFTHE CHAIR OFTHETRUSTEES for the year ended 31 July 2020 CHAIR'S REPORT I'm writing this report in a year of huge uncertainty and tremendous change across the world, as the Impact of the Coronavirus pandemic continLtes. Of course, like everyone, the Bristol Old Vic Theatre School has been affetted, and further down this repory I will outline the impact and some of the measures that have been put in place. Firstly, a keyjob of the Board was to appoint a new Principal/CEO. Paul Rummer gave notice to retire this 5umrner after many years running the School successfully, inttlating and overseeing many changes during his time, expanofing the repertoire of courses and always brlnging a huge amount of dedication and passion to the role. After a rigorous multi-stage process spanning several rnonths, and one that inclLtded staff and studént ¢onsultatiOn5, the Trustees unanimously agreed to appoint Fiona Francombe IPurcell} who was préviously Direttor of the Bottleyard Studios in Bristol. Fiona took up the appointmentfull time in August and has seized the helm with confidence and vigour. There have also been some changes over the year to the membership of the board., former Charr David Halton stepped down as a trustee after serving the School for the maxrmum allDwed term. He has brought a tremendous amount of knowledge of Higher Education which will be missed. As a result of David's departure, Guy 5tob3rt Ivice Chairl took over as our nominated governor on Consetvatoire for Dance and Drama's ICDD51 Board of Governors. David Marsh stood down as Chair of the Finance Committee and again, Guy rook over this role. We also said farewell to Tru5teeJohn Das who has relocated to Birmingham. Whilst we said our thanks and farewell to some Trustees, we also welcomed several new appointments. Flip Tanner is an independenttheatre professional ancl brings a wealth of relevant and currentexperience of the industryto the school. He trained in stage managernent here so has come full circle. And employment lawyerjoanne Boyle has 31sojoined the Board offering valuable legal advice, not least during the appointment of the new PrincipallCEO. A third new member is Will Connor who is a business advisor and no doubt we will be leaning on his expertise heavily as the School look5 for sustainable new way5 to finance it in the f￿ure. Over the past year. there has been much change and uncertainty within the Con5eNatoire of Dance and Drama. with one of the current Schools giving formal notice to leave. Consequently, our Trustees eventually made the dtfficult decision to resign from CDD giwng three yèars, notice with effett from August 2020. We will remain wtthin CDD until summer 2023, butwe're now actively pursuing partnerships with other Higher Education Institutes. A5 this process is now undetway, Professor Martin Boddy (Pro Vice Chancellor, UWEI has stepped down as an attive Trustee of the School. Whi15t the UKwas sent into lockdown this year, all learning atthe School became online, practically overnight. Staff and students reacted quickly and flexibty to turn planned theatre performances. audrcions and showcases into those that could be reCO￿fIgUred to meet Covid19 ￿$trI(￿OnS. Learning continued and online Zoom sessions and digital media became the new norm. It was a delight to witness the talent energy and adaptability shown by students as gradu8ting showcases, numerous produttions and the exhibition of Costume, Design and Scenic Art students, work went online. And without doubt the future will continue to include a hlgher level of digital learning and performing than in the past. Another big global change has been the growing voice of the Black Lives Matter movement. The Trustees are supporting the School in implementing some changes in diversity and support for students of colour. There will also be some adaptions made to ensure the emotional wellbeing of staff and students. This new work will be alongside the normal committees required of a goveming body. plLJS one5 that cover estates and propety, student liaison meeting5, specialist areas such as film and television, theatre production, student support and wellbeing agents and castin& and marketing and recruitment. The Strategic planning group is also increasingly important to develop a shared vision for the Schc>ol's future. CharEty No. 9D0280 Cornpany RegIstr￿t￿n No. 02430025

Bristol Old Vic Theatre School Limited REPORT OF THE CHAIR OFTHE TRUSTEES for the year ended 31 July 2020 The School's collaboration with Bristol's Old Vic Theatre has been valuable this year. The School's Artistic Dirertorlenny Stephens continues her strong working relationship with its Artistic Direttor Tom Morris, and this has been evldent Sn the current uncertain climate for theatres where flexible ambitious projects are being developed to support both the School and the Bovt. The Patrons meeting tèkes place twice a year where the chairs, principals and 8rriStic dirèctors of both the School and the theatre meet to discuss collaborative ideas and decide whether future ones should have some extra funding. This all feeds into the city of Bristoys growing reputation as a centre of excellence for the arts. The School, being a srnall specialist drama school, remains vulnerable to the ever-growing challenges of being in higher education, particularly in such uncertain times. Reartions to the pandemic, changes to funding, the CDD and the financial challengesto students through rlsing living costs as well as meetingtuition fees, combined with growing political uncertainty provide great Ihallenges for the coming years. However, I feel confidentthe School is up to the tssk and wll continue to offer a high quality o)f training and value for money to our studènts.

The autumn and springterms were completed SLJccessfully nd very tnuch a5 planned, but Covid19 and the ensuing lockdown created challènges with plans having to adapt at rapi speed and continuously. There were many positive outcomes as well as frustrations during this time. Covid19 and BLM The spring into summer of 2020 was an astonishing time,. not only was the world hit by a pandemic the like of which has not been seen for a century. but also the rnurder of George Floyd in America at the hands of the police held impliiations that rippled through the Western world. Ourstudents'visceral re5ponseto this killing produced a response that hastened changes already happenlng w￿h1n the School. For a number of years, the School has been recruiting a rnore diverse student body- particularly in the fields of acknng and directing. The death of George Floyd led to a political reattiorl that included the tearing down the statue of slave trader Edward Colston in Bristol.

Teaching and Produrtions under Covid19 and Lockdown On 15th March 2020 it became clear that stLJdents needed to be sent home and the School closed to students. This was the beglnnlng of the last week of term. The following few weeks were navigated with difficulty as it was not clear how long the locked-dDwn situatlDn would continue. All teaching and producrion plans were in flux as we believed that we may be able to rehearse online but return to school to finish rehearsals and perform live. Thi5 proved not to be the case. except for the International MFAAcclng cohort. Charty No. 90928D Company Registration No. 0243OQ25

Bristol Old Vic Theatre School Limited REPORT OFTHE MEMBERS OF THE COUNCIL OF MANAGEMENT for theyear ended 31 July 2020 The impacr of the lockdown varied by course and the particularities of the cliscipline. MA Drama Writing students, for example, could continue their training online with little disruption, but for MA Scènie Art students there were major changes to their expettations. Showcase Final year actors. showcase was in final stages of rehearsal and should have been performed a few days later. This has been postponed,. a commitment to do a live showcase even after graduation has been made to these students. Fortunately, their monologues had been filmed and we were able ro successfully release these to industry professionals (agents and casting directors). Dlrec¢ors' Lab The next publlc performances that were programmed were small scale productions l&d by our Directing MA students. These should have been at The Wardrobe Theatre in Bristol. These projects all moved online in some form. One directing student in particular rose to the challenge and produied hi5 chosen play live via the plarform'Streamyard.com'. Flnal Term Grad shows Four new plays had been prDgrammed as the final temi productions- they were planned as a 'rep-style' season of wDrk in collaboration with Bristol Old Vi¢s Ilterary department. Through the tenacity and creativity of the School's film department we managed to getthree Df these online. Two were performed live from lockdown, with actors in their own homès, supporteol by Produttion Arts students runningthe broadcasts, having props. backgrounds and costumes having been sentto the attors. One of the other plays was created and edlted as a film. The flnal play proved too difficuEt to fully realise as the actors struggled w>th personal living circumstances. These artors all managed to gain agent representation so thèir industry launches were not 5everety compromised. This was more of a dlsappointment for the technical students working ors this projett as their hard work did not receive a public showing. West CountryTour The West Country tour rehearsed online for a few week5 until it was clear that it needed to be postponed at which point production arts students were redeployed onEo other projects. The middle year atting students had the extremely fortunate opportunity of working with Sally Cook50n la director of high national reputation). Thanks are due to S?Ily for her time and commitment which she gave free of charge to the School. The International MFA Production Rehearsals for Pericles, the MFA final production, were successfully moved online. This cohort of students were 5crongly impacted by the lockdown as it concerned a greater proporuon of their course than anyone else. including the one public Stage production they work on. It became clear that we would be able to produce this on stage, with no live audièncè but capturing it on film for broadcast. Covid-19 compliant ways of working were developed and adhered to as we welcomed students back after the end of main summer term. A new director was pur in place for the produttion as the original director was in the covid.19 vulnerable category. It is testament to the tenacity, dedicatlon and care of staff and students Iparricularly the film department) thatthis prolluttion wa5 successfully filmed at a local theatre Ithe Redgrave). Writérs.

The Stability Fund was designated by the Council to allow the School to continue to operate for a full term and create a financial buffer should there bè a sharp fiscal downturn with signrficant loss of income. Based on the current years performance the apparent cost of one term would be much reduced by the effects of lock-down, however, due to the contrnued economic uncertainty in the current climate it is considered prudent to augment this fvnd by £60,OOD 12019.. £10,000).
