📰✊ MAY BLOG IS LIVE NOW!

This month, following on from a great couple of weeks working with Leeds Conservatoire’s Actor-Musician Cohort and considering what it means to build a sustainable career as an artist, and what advice you might give to someone just starting out, (or go back in time to tell yourself) we’ve enlisted the help of two absolute icons, Kathryn Hanke and Emily Snooks, to talk about the trajectories their careers have taken and what success means to them.

PLUS recommendations including Angélique Kidjo, National Theatre's Connections, Kate Ireland, Beyoncé and the World Snooker Championships.
