Election post
Hi! I'm Seth and I am a 2nd Year Philosophy student - on paper. In practice, I spend far more time on ArtsUCL than my degree, having just finished my 8th show.
As Treasurer, I want to support the community of UCL Drama in the creation of innovative and exciting theatre, ensuring efficiency in processing requests and responding to queries. Having co-produced UCL Drama's Blooms show this year, I understand production finance can be daunting. I want to help production teams navigate finance so that all productions can feel confident and supported.
I will:
1. Host drop-in sessions for prospective producers so they can learn about how to create budgets and how to maximise them during the production process.
2. Ensure comprehensive financial backing so that productions can make the most of the exciting changes taking place in ArtsUCL next year (including increased availability of the Bloomsbury Drama Studio)
3. Ensure that where money can be spent, it will be. Creative, compelling theatre needs adequate financial support and my spending ethos as Treasurer will reflect this.
I hope those who I have been lucky enough to work with are aware of my commitment and passion for this society, and I hope those who I have not can trust that I will be an engaged, approachable and detail-orientated Treasurer. Next year I am determined to ensure that productions feel tangibly supported so we can continue to make the shows that make us, undeniably, the best society at UCL.
