ABTT Co-Chair & Senior Lecturer at Guildford School of Acting, Mig Burgess Walsh commented: “I’m encouraged by how many great ideas and projects have already been inspired by our previous conferences, and I am hopeful and excited to see what we can with in 2025 to really make a difference. It’s a thought-provoking and brave title choice from Rose Bruford and I’m looking forward to the freedom to explore backstage training without being held back by how we currently do it. It’s also exciting to get the input from employers and industry as we look to the future of training.”
Nick Hunt, Professor of Lighting Design andPerformance Technologies at Rose Bruford College, added: “Rapid changes in the industry mean existing job roles are changing and new ones emerging. The world of training and education is also evolving. There has never been a greater need for industry and education to talk and work together, to ensure the industry has the workforce it needs and new professionals are confident and well prepared for their careers. The ABTT’s innovative Make a Difference format is the ideal vehicle for us to have this conversation.”
