Congratulations to Darcy Dixon winner of the Luke Westlake bursary 2024

We are delighted that our second year BA (Hons) in Acting student Darcy Dixon has won this year’s Luke Westlake Scholarship, which supports working-class creatives in their final years of training. 

Darcy was named the sixth winner at a ceremony at the Lyric Hammersmith Theatre on 5 December and was selected from a shortlist of eight finalists, with over 170 applicants from 29 institutions across the UK.

Niamh Dowling, RADA Principal said: "It is vital to ensure that talented artists are supported whatever their circumstance so that the arts are representative and accessible to everyone. The Luke Westlake Scholarship is a wonderful initiative that plays an important role in opening doors. We are so grateful for this support and delighted that Darcy will benefit from this opportunity. Congratulations on the well-deserved recognition."
