Discover Central Podcast, Season 1, Episode 1
On this first episode of Discover Central, host Scott Bellamy talks with Central’s Dr Nicola Abraham (Lecturer, Applied Theatre Practices) and Dr Selina Busby (Principal Lecturer, Course Leader MA Applied Theatre, Course Leader PG Cert Applied Theatre with Young People) about the innovative work they are undertaking, together with Central students, to support the wider community both in the UK and globally during COVID-19 lockdown.
We also hear from Central students Darius Gervinskas and Moneka Prato about projects they’ve been working on which are making a difference in the lives of isolated, at risk and sheltering individuals as well as to support front line workers in the NHS.
More information on Dr Abraham’s work with the Imperial College Healthcare NHS Trust can be found on Central’s website, where you can also read about projects with the staff and patients on Auchi Ward and listen to the immersive radio drama which was created at the start of lockdown.
