What’s Blocking You?
In partnership with ArtsMinds
In light of latest Government advice to avoid public gatherings, the Young Vic has made the arrangement that this event will be live-streamed from the Young Vic. This free, live-streamed discussion will see Kwame Kwei-Armah in discussion with speakers Muriel McClymont & Danny Rahim. The discussion will be chaired by Young Vic Creative Associate Teunkie Van Der Sluijs.
A live stream will allow the event to go ahead and give everyone a space to talk about resilience in the industry, which we feel is vital in these difficult times. We hope that by moving the discussion from the Young Vic into a digital sphere this Wednesday, more people can join us from wherever they are right now, to share together and support each other. We don’t promise to have all the answers at this point, but holding a conversation is a good way to start.
