On 9 February 2021, we hosted an online session with Splendid’s Artistic Director Kerry Frampton. Over the years we have regularly received questions from students and teachers about the company’s origins and ethos, and so we took the opportunity for Kerry (with group chat contributions from Associate Director Mal Smith) to respond to these frequently asked questions, starting from the very beginning.
How to watch: we have edited Kerry’s responses into bite-sized chunks, and arranged them into the categories of Splendid History, and Splendid Style (although the conversation flowed widely between both categories). If you like a linear form, you can start with the introduction above, and at the end of each section you can click to watch the next. If you prefer a more episodic in approach, you can use the links below to jump to the question that interests you – scroll down for more detail on each question.
