For those who didn’t watch the full video, here’s the lowdown: Unfortunately we have had to make some adjustments this year, and will only be doing 1 round of Project:LIVE 🥺 although we know this might be disappointing, we are working on making even more improvements for next year, and continuing to support our Alumni. HOWEVER; you still have the opportunity to come to our only Project:LIVE showcase this Thursday 23rd July @2funkycomplex 🤩It’s going to be AMAZING! Definitely one not to be missed.
