To celebrate the success of LAMDA Genesis Foundation scholars, we are pleased to present this documentary which features current second and third year students preparing for their end of year performances alongside Peter James, the Principal of LAMDA.

In 2002, the Genesis Foundation took over the scholarship programme established several years earlier by John Studzinski, the Foundation's chairman, for students at the London Academy of Music and Dramatic Art (LAMDA).

To celebrate the launch of the HighTide Genesis Laboratory, we are pleased to present this short documentary which includes rehearsal footage of 4.10 Gone, the first play to be workshopped in the laboratories.

To celebrate Anupama Chandrasekhar's latest play, Disconnect, currently showing at the Jerwood Theatre Upstairs, we are happy to present a 5 minute excerpt from play.

Chennai-based playwright Anupama Chandrasekhar, an alumnus of the Genesis Foundation supported International Playwrights programme at the Royal Court, discusses her latest play, Disconnect, which will have its world premiere at the Jerwood Theatre Upstairs from 17 February until 20 March.

Greta Alfaro is the first beneficiary of the new Genesis Scholarship programme at the Royal College of Art.  A postgraduate photography student from Valencia, Spain, she has been offered a place on the two-year M.A. programme and will receive £10,000 per year from the Genesis Foundation.  Her work deals with the importance and significance of images in contemporary Western society.

This video, entitled In Ictu Oculi, is a recent example of her work.
