Spotlight Support: Behind the Scenes

by Jamie-Lee Meneely

Honest conversations about what really goes on behind the scenes in the dance and performing arts world, with mental health and wellbeing at the heart of it. From pressure, confidence and comparison to burnout, rejection and expectations, we'll talk about the things that affect us but aren't always said out loud. I'll share my own experiences alongside conversations with people across the industry. Expect a bit of craic - probably a few stories I shouldn't tell and hopefully a few “Oh good, it's not just me” moments. Challenging, joyful and sometimes completely bonkers!
