Ink Pellet Magazine - January 2020 IP131

In this issue

Starting the new decade, this issue includes the 'Big Interview' with best-selling crime writer Domenica de Rosa (Elly Griffiths), plus we examine a number of the apprenticeship schemes in the creative industries and hope you will recommend this option as a viable route into the profession to your cohort. For those looking to perform, we investigate the array of stage schools nurturing young talent in the UK and highlight the excellent work of British Youth Music Theatre, which annually searches out and encourages hundreds of young performers around the country – make sure to apply for their upcoming audition programme! There’s an interesting ‘success story’ about one previous BYMT alum on page 16 too! Also in this issue, we share a coffee and a chat with writer Piers Torbay, following the recent success of his adaptation of 'A Christmas Carol', feature the training and tuition offered by the Royal Birmingham Conservatoire and guide you through the relaunched drama syllabuses from Trinity College, whilst Graham Hooper marks your card for many of the exciting exhibitions to look out for this coming year.
