If you are based in Kent, you may bump into international performer and MA PA graduate Niamh Nynam-Cotter, who is also the Programme and Participation Manager for the Canterbury Festival. The School of Arts’ current graduate company, Entita, is co-founded by MA PA graduate Katharine Hardman, and includes three further MA PA graduates in its ensemble. If you missed them in London, you can catch their work at this year’s Edinburgh Festival, where they are showing Fall, and Method in Madness.
