The Space is the place

At the start of the first day we couldn't find the light switch. In my capacity as Theatre Manager for The Space, home to much of the Drama element of the annual Music and Drama Education Expo | London, locating it was the first of my responsibilities before I had the privilege of keeping a watchful eye over each of the planned events.

As the first patrons arrived I was forced to abandon the search and the room looked set to be shrouded in a rather severe half-light for the whole day. No matter, however, as the day started with a street dance workshop led by Holly Frances Williams on behalf of RSL. As participants and organisers alike dipped and sashayed they provided enough energy to power the National Grid with a joyous and energetic start to proceedings.
