Series 1: Ep 6: In conversation with The Paper Birds Theatre Company
This month, for the last episode of our first series, Ali Warren is in conversation with Jemma McDonnell from Leeds based Theatre Company, The Paper Birds. Jemma explains about how The Paper Birds strengthened and thought creatively, very quickly in response to the pandemic and how they continue to think outside the box to keep their work alive and relevant. It's music to our ears as Drama teachers and theatre educators as Jemma says "When we started Drama at school I fell in love with theatre!" and look where she is now and what she had achieved. Jemma tells us all about their current project 'The School of Hope' and how to keep up to date with its developments via the website and instagram. "Being women in the industry, running a company, which I'd like to say shouldn't be rare...but it still is fairly rare"
