(How) can training become a site for experimentation and foster change?
By bringing together a diverse number of luminaries involved in different areas of arts-related training, this roundtable will offer an opportunity to present individual and institutional perspectives on how recent developments have affected the vision and running of performing arts training programmes, to exchange information on existing and emerging models for the incubation and professionalization of new artists, and to debate the vision(s) and aims that may inform future endeavours.

Catherine Alexander, the Royal Central School of Speech and Drama
