Episode 1 – In-between Emerging and Professional
Show Notes Chapter Markers

Joined by 5 young artists from the Trajectories programme – Bethan Murray, Iman Akhtar, Julia Hegele, Lily Carmen Smith and Michael Phillips – episode 1 probes the liminal space between emerging and professional practice: is this gap experience or CV dependent, how may it be affected by access and what is granted by the sector, and how may emerging artists, in turn, create their own opportunities?

This episode was recorded in June 2022, when the artists were on the Trajectories programme. To find out more about the project and view the work they presented at the end sharing in July, please visit: https://scottishyouththeatre.org/national-artistic-programme/trajectories/
