Makers and Creators: The Creative Futures Academy Podcast

This six-part pilot podcast series tells the story of Creative Futures Academy, through its creators and educators. Each episode focuses on a lecturer / practitioner at IADT, UCD and NCAD teaching across a wide range of creative practice – fashion, music, film, media, art and drama. What is their practice? How did they get there? How can they help up and coming creative practitioners? This is about sharing stories and examining creative practice in both the professional and learning environments. Each 25-minute episode explores different professional journeys and teaching practice in creative education. These episodes provide the context for introducing Creative Futures Academy, a space that develops opportunities for those working in the creative and cultural industries to train, network and develop in their creative practice.
