Podcast: Jumping Straight into Act II

Amy Tickner on the Act II Festival

This week’s guest is Amy Tickner, Artistic Director of Act II Festival. The festival returns to The Space on 8 and 15 April, and so it seemed a great time to sit down with Amy to find out what it’s all about.

ACT II is a creative programme bridging the gap between student theatre and the industry. They provide a creative development programme for London Students, giving them access to skills workshops, Q&As, and tips from those currently working in the industry. The festival encourages London’s students to work alongside one another, creating a London Student Drama community that does not discriminate one institution from another.

We discuss the festival and what it offers new theatre makers, whether that be writers, directors or actors. Plus why The Space is such a great fit to host the festival, and just what we can expect if we come along to see the shows.

You can find out more about Act II on their website ⁠here⁠. Tickets for the festival can be found on the Space website ⁠here⁠.
