Back to the Edge

Today marked my first day back on campus at Edge Hill University, welcoming the 1st Years to the Musical Theatre course! This semester will feel very different to the last, all being well, as much more practical work can be done in person. This includes full concerts, showcases, and productions, with the 3rd Years helping to workshop a brand new musical currently in development, which should be an exciting process!

September obviously involved prep for the forthcoming semester, as well as helping my dad demo a song that he reckons is a potential entry for a future Eurovision Song Contest. I also began my work on the Musical Director Mentorship Scheme, a brand new endeavour that sees current MDs paired up with aspiring ones. I have actually been given two people to mentor, with the scheme running for nine months.

Away from the Edge Hill tutoring, October sees me back in an actual theatre, deputising on the UK Tour of Chicago. I have also decided to train for another half marathon (again, not a real race, just the distance) as the extra free time this summer saw me get back to being much more active than I usually am! The only thing now will be to see if I can fit all the long training runs into my schedule…!
