Meet Mary Angley, Carclew’s 2023 Fellowship recipient:

I’m currently preparing to undertake study abroad in Berlin! I've booked a selection of masterclasses by Arthaus.Berlin and the New International Performing Arts Institute. I'm reading up on the pedagogies and methodologies of my teachers. I'm also spending time learning about the history of the city and planning out how I will immerse myself in the culture of Berlin. My passport is organised, my Birkenstocks are packed, and my Duolingo Streak is at 205 days-- ich kann nicht warten! 

We will be excited to hear about Mary’s adventure on her return and find out how the Carclew Fellowship supported her artistic practice and professional development.
