Join a Community Event
Step into the spotlight of our vibrant community! We believe in fostering connection and belonging, which is why we host a variety of community events throughout the year, constantly expanding our offerings to meet your needs.
For those who’ll find in-person attendance challenging, we also provide a diverse range of Online Wellbeing Webinars throughout the year, ensuring that support is always within reach, no matter where you are. But if you’re based in London and looking to connect with like-minded individuals, why not join us for our uplifting Coffee & Choir Mornings?
We know that a supportive community can make all the difference in your career and life, so please, come, be seen, and be heard. Please see below for more information on upcoming events and how to participate.
Coffee and Choir
A time for coffee, cake, singing, and being among a like-minded and friendly community. It is free to attend, and we welcome all abilities. You don’t need to be able to read music, just come along and enjoy yourself. The sessions bring together fellow creatives for a cuppa, a chat and a fun couple of hours of singing.
We’re led by our musical director, the choirmaster and actor, Stefan Bednarczyk, who leads us in a range of material from musical theatre to pop and rock. Stefan teaches regularly at RADA, where he has been a guest musical director for over 20 years.
