The Scholarship Queen!

That’s what a few of us had nick-named Arielle.
She sauntered through life being awarded Scholarships to the best Theatre Companies, Dance Schools and Drama Colleges she has since attended. I Have known Arielle since she was 5 years old, a fireball of energy and enthusiasm! We had cast her as a young “Mary Queen of Scots” in a high profile, Summer season play at Stirling Castle. It was her first experience performing to a large audience and it was obvious to one and all that Arielle possesed presence, instinct and maturity way beyond her years. She was upstaging the professional, adult actors around her, she was only 5! Possibly this first taste of treading the boards propelled her from one success to another. I believe she is one of those rare, magnetic naturals that the rest of us would love to be! She contacted me saying she needed a neutral reference for her website. I was delighted and wrote this short commentary from my own experience of working with her. She has also asked me to extend a huge thank you to all the influential people in her life for their love and support! She feels deep gratitude for the authoritative figures in stage craft who have taught her and continually encourage and inspire her. They have also acknowledged her hard work and dedication to the Art of Storytelling! Shine on! With pleasure and high regard, Deek Bishop, Director, Sair Feet Theatre Co. Stirling.
