She has contributed so much of her time and energy into Scotland, the arts and her theatre. Her love for her work is evident throughout. It really is such a shame, not just for Flavia but for Scotland (UK). You are basically denying your country and your people the privelage of working with someone so dedicated to
the arts. A girl who travelled from Brazil, just put yourself in her shoes and even with that one sentence you can have no doubt she has dedication. The idea of having 'exceptional talent' and getting 5stars in the Edinburagh
Fringe is nonsense! If you want to judge ones work you should judge there desire, determination and most importantly there
effect on the arts, your people, the theatre and the overall contribution to your country.
Not every country can have floodgates and let people jump from country to country but in this case there seems like there is an issue and one that can be resolved very simply. Let Flavia stay and apply for her visa here without having to move to Brazil and perhaps lean lightly on some of the bizarre rules you have in place.
In my eyes Flavia has ''Exceptional Talent'' and I hope you will see what I see.

Flavia is an enthusiastic, committed and passionate theatre professional who is always ready to invest every minute of her life into creating exceptional work and bringing people to collaborate and create work together. During her years at university (which she paid in full as an international student) and thereafter, Flavia has initiated several projects and worked in several theatre productions, often working closely to internationally renowned companies and directors. This campaign is not for her sake but for the sake of the arts in the UK.

Criteria for remaining within Britain / Scotland should be reasonable and in line with realistic expectations of what a graduate can achieve, in order that people like Flavia can continue to contribute and are encouraged to do so.

Immigration laws are put in place by powerful people that are scared of loosing control of the population that essentially work to make them money. If we had open borders then we would be a truly free society and no one Government could ever have control. The truth is that we do have open borders as it is we the people that decide. We "en mass" tell our Governments where to stick their draconian separatist and racist border policies. The Governments hold our lands in Trust for us and they work for us. It is about time they realized this.
