Day 4 of #CNext2024 ! The weather in Berlin is holding sunny and stunning, and I feel like my brain might explode from all the information I'm absorbing. Massively enjoying myself ☺️
Here are some highlights from Days 1-3 at @ClassicalNEXT . So enjoying getting to know Berlin and lots of new colleagues. Let's keep learning - we're stronger together than we are apart #CNext2024
alt text photo 3 is of a large fountain feature in a park. There are lots of individual fountains within the feature, and the stone colour is light beige. It is sunny.
alt text photo 1 is a selfie of Ruth, a white woman in her 20s. She is smiling and holding her hand up in a wave. It is sunny. photo 2 is a cup of coffee, a glass of water, and a slice of apple cake on a table outdoors. There is a vase with a flower, and it is sunny.
I have been having a grand old time in Berlin! I'm here for @ClassicalNEXT , and soaking up the sunshine and good vibes. Just about to head to the keynote speech - "Shaping the Future of Opera" by Aviel Cahn. Ready to learn!
In Oct last year I attended @create_access course on accessible social media - and I loved it! I learned so much which now informs my every day practice. There's another one happening on Tue 30 Apr (11am - 12pm); highly recommend getting your ticket now! tinyurl.com/3mj3vpn5
Blood, tears and taboos – how periods affect a singer's voice: thetimes.co.uk/article/4dcda6… Really happy to have this feature in @thetimes today – it's about a subject we should all be less afraid of talking about. (1/2)
