The Arts Programme – 105 – Wellbeing: Performing Artists Wellbeing & Support

This week we have been speaking with Claire Cordeaux from BAPAM about wellbeing and support for performers, the rise of the understudy and celebrating the rocking life of Meatloaf.

We have also been speaking about all of the resources available to you as a performer or creative (see list of links below!). The tricky music theme of the week ‘songs about other artists’ has provided a glorious playlist ranging from Serg Gainsbourg’s Bonnie and Clyde to Mika’s Grace Kelly – Listen again to The Arts Programme.
