With its long tradition of musical theatre, London was the natural place for Bishat to come and study. In the third and final year degree at dramatic arts school, she is auditioning for roles and planes to stay.
When she first arrived in the UK, Bishat was surprised at how hospitable everyone was. "It was really different. Everyone's really friendly and talks to you and says 'hi'. It was so weird. When people ask me 'Are you OK?' I stop to answer, but they just being friendly." It helps that her English is googd. " I learnt at school and from watching television. And they tech us accents at school, too".
She found the Tube, London's underground train system, difficult to get used to, through. She was also alarmed at the pace of life. " The tempo is fast, everyone is always on the go. You need to be a lot feistier here -and I am- or the people will just walk past you."
JOB OPPORTUNITIES
Bishat is delighted at the opportunities studding in London has given her, too. " They do have some good colleges in Sweden, but the tradition of musical theater isn't as strong as is here. You get directors and composers walking through these doors, you get firsthand information and people know us and might employ us."
