Title: Eight shows a week: investigating the psychological cost of a career in musical theatre

Abstract

Emma Risley is coming to the end of a placement here in Edinburgh working for Creative Carbon Scotland, researching how to get more creative freelancers involved in the organisation’s initiatives. The primary focus of her PhD study, however, is musical theatre and well-being. Usually based in Sheffield, Emma is excited to talk about her project as she passes the halfway mark.
