Have you seen our Kick Some Class series on Voice about working class representation in the arts? Check out our video interview below with Ali Rashley, Executive Artistic Director at Television Workshop in Nottingham, who talks about all the creative skills young people learn through drama, tv and film. Ali has worked with successful actors including Bella Ramsey (Game of Thrones and The Last of Us) and Michael Socha (This Is England and The Gallows Pole), read more about Ali’s TV and film industry work here.
