On Monday 16th March 2020, The Society of London Theatre announced the closure of all Theatres in London. This followed suit with regional venues. Where were you when you found out and what was your initial reaction?
I was actually just about to watch my friends in “City of Angels”, I arrived at 7pm only to find out that the West End had been shut.
Can you tell us anything productive you’ve been doing?
I have been doing a lot of online dance classes and workshops with various dance schools and companies. I have also taken part in a few online concerts to raise money for different causes such as the Black Lives Matter movement as well as some other personal concerts just for fun and entertainment.
