What's been your highlight during your time at Guildhall?
I thoroughly enjoyed taking our puppet project earlier this year out to local community centres and schools. Outreach projects such as these are so important, and play a vital role within smaller communities, and these were great experiences for us.
What's something you've learned that you feel will help you when you graduate?
Working closely alongside a diverse range of practitioners and developing effective ways of communication within the MA CTPD programme has been invaluable experience, and I am certain will be extremely useful in any opportunities that happen next.
What are you most interested in working in after you graduate?
I am really excited about working within accessible opera and participation work, alongside broadening my directorial knowledge and experience.
