About Me?

My name is Eshe Shukura. I am currently a third year student at Hampshire College studying theater with an emphasis on acting and social justice. Theater has been a part of my life since the age of 11and I've always had a deep emotional connection to the art form. I believe theater can change the world. Theatre explores human nature and behavior. It bridges communities, tells untold stories, and weaves together a loose sense of humanity. I want to work in theater as a career and I dream of one day opening my own theater company that produces new works that challenge the current social order. My theatre company will exist to fully support social justice projects and scholarship.  

Why NTI?

The National Theater Institute (NTI) is a semester-long conservatory style theater program put on by the Eugene O'Neill Theater, a non-profit theater company in Waterford, CT. At NTI, I will have the chance to work with theatre professionals in multiple disciplines of theatre who will provide me the resources and knowledge I need to realize my dreams. At NTI, the learning will stretch beyond the classroom and even the state of Connecticut. A semester at NTI provides students with the unique opportunity of a two-week theater study at St. Petersburg State Theatre Arts Academy in St. Petersburg, Russia. Participating in NTI is a chance that will broaden my cultural outlook and my artistic bank.

Why Fund This?

As a student of color, I notice the absence of students like me in advanced theatre programs outside of the college classroom. I applied to NTI as a chance to advance my studies in theater, and it is an incredible honor to have been accepted to this highly competitive program. I believe money should never be obstacle when a person is advancing their education and pursuing their dreams.
