NAC work experience with Izel and Reka

“We are Izel and Reka from Augsburg which is in Germany if you didn’t know. We got the opportunity to do a three-week work experience at the Norwich Arts Centre.

We were warned by our teachers that the people would be extremely nice here and they were definitely right. They were welcoming, caring and on top of that absolutely hilarious (thank you Pasco not just for making us laugh but also for making us feel like we’re part of the team).

One of the most memorable performances was the Drag Bingo. We got to bring all our friends to see a colourful and funny show. Although we didn’t win at the Bingo we got pulled up on stage to dance with the Drag queens (which is far better than screaming Bingo if you ask us).

Another experience we won’t forget is learning what happens behind the scenes, to do the soundcheck and to see how to control the lights (thank you Alex and Conor for your patience).

Because of the little talks we had with the staff and their fantastic music taste, even the usually “boring” things to do like scrubbing the walls were fun and relaxing.

Thank you all for this lovely and wonderful experience.”
