🎙️ BTS Creative Academy - Episode 247: Live Show | 1-Year Anniversary Special 🎉
Welcome to a very special episode of the BTS Creative Academy, where creativity knows no bounds! I'm your host, Martin Colton, and today, we celebrate a year of inspiring and boundary-pushing conversations with an unforgettable live show recorded at The Victoria Hall Theatre. This episode is brimming with creativity, laughter, music, and heartfelt reflections.🎵 First up, we were graced by the incredible duo Lee Pace & Chris Priest from Me & Him, who captivated us with an acoustic rendition of WALK THE MOON's "Shut Up and Dance." Together, we explored their unique partnership and deep friendship, revealing the magic behind their music.🎭 We then welcomed Niall Phillips, the brilliant Acting Mentor & Coach from Lonesome Workshops. Niall shared powerful insights on self-love and backing yourself to nurture and develop your craft—essential advice for any creative mind.🎙️ The dynamic duo Katheryn Siggers & Francesca Marago, hosts of the Not the 9 to 5 podcast, joined us to discuss the art of podcasting and how it, too, is a profound creative expression. Their wisdom is sure to resonate with anyone thinking about starting their own creative journey.🤣 Adding a touch of humor to the evening, we had Bambarumba, the hilarious stand-up comedian (and fictional persona of Jim Thompson), who brought the house down as he revisited this character after a 10-year break.🎶 A proud moment for me was introducing my daughter, Chloe Colton. At just 15 years old, Chloe is a rising star in the music world. She delivered a stunning solo acoustic cover of The Carpenters' "Superstar" and offered her unique perspective on how creativity is fostered in schools today.✒️ The soulful Louise Erskine, a poet of immense talent, moved us all with a reading of her powerful poem, "Here's to the Men."🎭 Rory Davies, Artistic Director of The Playhouse Theatre, shared his profound thoughts on the importance of community within the arts—a message that resonates deeply in today's world.🎭 And finally, we were joined by Leo Shepherd, the visionary behind Mercy Theatre Collective. Leo spoke passionately about the power of community theater and the potential it holds to transform lives.A huge shoutout to Jared Greennall for running the lights and sound, and Ollie Pajak for capturing it all on camera—this episode wouldn't be the same without their technical brilliance.This episode is a testament to the power of creativity and community.
