Industry placements
As part of the producing strand of her bachelors degree, Akshita completed industry placements to learn in a live environment in order to develop her understanding and skillset of working professionally in a higher-stakes context, with situational nuance.
Royal Court Theatre
On her placement at the Royal Court Theatre in London, Akshita, for 3 months, learned more about community engagement and data visualisation, supporting the KCW Project. She took on the role of Temporary Supporting Community Engagement Liaison, where Akshita researched for the project, was point of contact for schools and other arts groups for whom this project was created for.
Collage Arts
Akshita also completed a placement with Collage Arts in London for 2 months, to learn more about community engagement and creative charity organisations. She engaged with a variety of different programs, for a variety of ages, in a supporting artist capacity. Some of these programs had upcoming productions and ongoing performance arts training, allowing Akshita to stay inquisitive about the practicalities and logistics of how all of this comes to be.
