‘Listen in at Roche Court’ currently has 2 seasons and 11 episodes.

It is created with Sixth Form and GCSE students, who identify overarching themes and questions relating to exhibiting artist’s work.

All episodes feature discussion exploring the artists’ inspirations, use of materials, education and career journey, as well as insight from other industry professionals. 

Students prepared for the interviews in research sessions delivered by the Educational Trust’s specialist staff team, including co-producers Dan Coggins and Zach James.
