Assessments, auditions and applications making you stressed out?
At this busy time of the year it’s easy to feel overwhelmed, so here are our top twelve ways to de-stress that you can follow this fortnight.
1. Relax and listen to the music (for FREE)
Next week, enjoy not one but TWO free evening recitals.
First, head to the Theatre Studio on MON 14 MAY at 19.00h to hear the Smith Quartet, one of Trinity Laban’s Carne Trust Ensembles in Residence. Follow with a dose of pianist Douglas Finch on TUE 15 MAY at 18.00h, Peacock Room.

6. Make plans you can look forward to
Did you know that booking for the BBC Proms opens on SAT 12 MAY? Our pick is the BSO Resound’s Proms concert on 27 August. Led by Trinity Laban musician James Rose, and featuring alumnus percussionist Philip Howells, the ensemble is the first disability-led ensemble to perform at the festival.
7. Do something different
Why not switch it up and get moving by dropping in to a public class at the Laban building led by a guest dance artist? You’re sure to feel rejuvenated after one of these fast-paced and varied sessions on a Wednesday evening. Only £7 for TL students and alumni. More info and book.
