Where are the drama students going? Queensland Theatre's Quality Time podcast
-
- Performing Arts
Hi you’re listening to the Queensland Theatre Quality Time podcast, let me set the scene.
According to 2021 enrollment numbers, selection of drama as a senior subject has been rapidly declining in the thousands since 2017. It’s a shocking statistic, caused by a push towards STEM subjects, the impact of Covid and a fear of career instability. Today our Artistic Director Lee Lewis is joined by Drama Queensland President Stephanie Tudor to discuss why it’s important for every student in Queensland to have access to an arts education, so that the arts can also be a part of their adult life, whether that be on stage, backstage or in the audience. Enjoy! Sound Design by The Podcast BossTheme music by Wil Hughes#QualityTimeWithQT
