The current Covid-19 crisis has meant the cancellation of a number of tours and we are doing ongoing scenario planning for all of the projects remaining for 2020 as time moves on.
In the meantime, we're exploring how we might do things differently in this situation in which we find ourselves....... To see what we're planning to deliver in terms of live performance, take a look at my #KeepingItLive page
We are also busy developing new policies, protocols, projects and new modes of delivery for the rest of 2020 and beyond.
