Feedback from Illuminate 2024:
“A really enjoyable day that has rejuvenated my teaching!”
“Thank you for a really wonderful, inspiring day. It was great to meet industry professionals, as well as connect with loads of other amazing Drama teachers, and remind ourselves how fantastic our subject is!”
“I feel invigorated to pass on tips and exercises to colleagues at the same time beginning to think about next year’s curriculum. I feel invested in and reinvigorated to step back in front of learners within a studio with some much-needed fresh ideas. Stepping off the timetable in a new space has open my eyes to extra CPD opportunities with connected companies.”
