We had a beautiful time at the @wearebridgeuk celebration for Rocks 5 year anniversary. So much wisdom from the Rocks cast, such a privilege to be in the room with them and the new cohorts of young actors. Our industry is so lucky to have We Are Bridge supporting young people to create a sustainable career through education and community.

Final session of the 24/25 BIFA Breakthrough Performer Programme ☺️🌱

We ended the programme with a Career Development workshop focussing on the themes of:

- transitioning into other creative pathways
- how to sustain your ambition and drive during instability
- how to sustain your financial resources during instability
- linking your vision to your goals and then to the next actions needed to achieve it

Thank you to Daniel Bailey @danielbailey and Ronkẹ Adékoluẹjo @ronkusgram for sharing your wisdom with us during the Q&A:

‘Acting is a practice - you cannot rely on your instincts’

‘When writing, start with your treatment and then build your script from there.’

Such a great 7 months working with you all, looking forward to cheerleading from afar as you journey through your next chapter ⭐️
