Episode 51: Amy Letman - Transform

What a great conversation I had with Amy Letman, the Creative Director of Transform!

"Transform is an engine room for powerful performance. We create exhilarating international festivals and work year-round to catalyse future-gazing artists and creatives to reimagine what theatre can be. We bring Bold, Brave, Vivid & Socially-Conscious international performance to the Leeds City Region and beyond."

The Transform Festival runs biennially and has been running for 10 years.

"Transform 21-22 is an experiment to reimagine what an international festival can look like and represent in the future. It is an invitation to artists and communities to join us in manifesting an extended festival for our times, one that is slower, more sustainable and more embedded. 

From this October 2021 until April 2022, our extended festival will invite audiences from across Leeds and beyond to rediscover and explore the city and to connect with bold, brave, vivid and socially-conscious performance by powerful artists from across the globe."

All performances are Pay What You Can.

The featured track on this episode is "Mr Magnificent" by Ringo and the Wolf.  The song is about a villainous ex-boss but the song is really upbeat and joyful.
