There is a break down of  my 1st year  fees below. 


Hello everyone, my name is Sule Kamu Thelwell and I'm a 19 year old theatre, film and television actor. I remember the day I discovered the word performer, and realized I've been performing my whole life. Even as a child, I watched a lot of TV, and mimicked the different characters to make my mom and aunties laugh.

The voices of race car commentators, British spies, American gangsters and opera singers were all in my arsenal at age 6. I craved the feeling of enjoyment my voices would evoke in my family, and soon started dressing like these characters to get my family even more hyped. By 8, I realized people were unique and so I not only copied their voice, but their personalities and physicality. I practiced becoming nuanced characters and It wasn't long before I became a one man show, dressed in a blue suit and red tie doing impressions of Obama. I was the cousin, the adults called out when the family reunion fire was dying and I'd always bring a smile to everyone's face. In school, I was always in speech or drama clubs and have represented at the highest  secondary school level. 

So even after getting 8 CSEC subjects and graduating with honors from Glenmuir High School, it came as no surprise to my mom when I told her I wanted to chase my dreams. At that moment she understood that an Architectural Degree from The University of Technology was no longer the plan, because I'll never love architecture the way I love performing. My mother said I would have to do a 6th form program as a contingency, to prove to her I was serious about performing. So whilst studying and passing 5 CAPE Level subjects, at DeCarteret College, I had to solidify my career as an actor. I joined and have been trained by The Quilt Performing Arts Company, and have done a myriad of performances where I've represented Jamaica, both regionally and internationally in several theatre and film festivals, workshops, and drama based retreats. 

I've also  positioned myself to do film work, namely music videos, local commercials, international short films, as well as produce my own. I recently did an official narrative based film for Bob Marley's - No Woman No Cry. 

Having done all that, I proved to my biggest fan, my mom, that I am serious about my passion, and subsequently applied for The Royal Central School of Speech and Drama in London. It being the Harvard of drama schools, I am not keen on letting the opportunity pass me by. The school chooses just over 5000 applicants to audition, and after 4 rounds I was given a place among the 17 accepted for this year's cohort. However, neither my family nor I are in a position to finance my education at Central. I have applied for as many scholarships, grants and funds I found available, but sadly the arts aren't as funded as many other traditional subject areas. Before my career switch, my family and I had a plan, but my parents had a dreamer. 

Please help me to continue to dream because I will be successful, not only for myself, my family or my country, but for all the dreamers who still dare to dream.
