We’re excited to announce that bookings for our upcoming Fair Access Expo are now open!!!
Come along and join us on Thursday 4th November for open discussions around Widening Access to the Arts.
We are delighted that the wonderful screen actor Julie Hesmondhalgh will be opening the Expo, sharing her passion for the arts and its power to transform lives and communities. We will also be sharing stories and flagging up opportunities for people interested in a career in Dance, Drama, Music, Film, Production, Theatre and the Performing Arts.
This year, the main discussions that you can take part in are:
Young People as Champions of Widening Access to the Arts
A group of young people will come together to share their experience of choosing the arts as a pathway. We’ll delve into what it’s been like and how they see themselves moving forward.
Where Theatre Meets Film
In this discussion we will hear from theatre-makers and filmmakers and people who do both – we will explore the many varied opportunities that are available in Film and theatre and how both practical and creative disciplines can straddle both art forms.
Being Working Class in The Arts
A career in the arts is not always celebrated as a life choice or even as an option at all – in this panel we will hear from a panel of speakers from working-class communities who have forged creative careers, often against the odds.
Registration now closed!
