This week's Do Good & Do Well guest is the fantastic Gemma Woffinden.

Gemma is a passionate theatre maker, producer and facilitator with over 20 years of experience in working with children and young people in a variety of contexts. Gemma is also currently the Speak Up producer at Theatre Royal Wakefield leading work with the National Theatre and the Drama Coach at Opera North.

Her mission is to support young people, early career artists and facilitators by signposting them to range of creative pathways to help demystify the theatre industry and open it up to underrepresented future artists.

Such a pleasure to talk to Gemma. We had a really open and honest conversation that I think will resonate with many of you. We talked about:

• Why Gemma loves drama, theatre and working with young people

• The power of having a teacher who sees you

• Asking for help and not having all the answers

• Remembering the joy in our work

• Looking for approval

• Celebrating the good stuff
