Welcome to this episode of Part of the Arts!🎭✨

Today, we’re joined by actor Kieran, whose career has taken off in just 3.5 years—touring nationally and internationally, filming a feature film, and landing TV roles every year. With screen combat training and two black belts, he’s no stranger to action both on and off the stage.

Beyond acting, Kieran teaches LAMDA, directs youth shows with Rabble Theatre, and writes his own productions. But in August 2024, his journey took an unexpected turn when he was involved in a serious motorcycle accident. Now, he’s navigating recovery while balancing the challenges of being a self-employed artist.

Join us as we dive into his journey—his fast-moving career, his passion for the arts, and his resilience in the face of adversity. 🎧🔥 #PartOfTheArts

In this episode of Part of the Arts, we’re joined by Stephanie Crane. Steph's journey took an unexpected turn—in the best way possible. From dreaming of a lifelong career in dance to discovering a new passion, our guest’s story is all about embracing change and finding happiness in unexpected places.

She trained at the Northern School of Contemporary Dance and junior company in Switzerland, stepping into the professional dance world with big ambitions. But life had other plans. Now a full-time personal trainer, she may only dance in her kitchen, but she’s never been happier.

Join us as we chat about redefining identity, career pivots, and how sometimes, letting go of what we thought we wanted leads us to something even better. 🎧✨
