Elder Conservatorium Alumnus Edmund Black Awarded Helpmann Academy InReview Mentorship
Congratulations to recent Bachelor of Music (Advanced) graduate and emerging jazz pianist Edmund Black, who was recently announced as a recipient of the 2024 Helpmann Academy InReview Mentorship program, alongside Bachelor of Contemporary Art (University of South Australia) graduate Brooke Ferguson. A joint venture between the Helpmann Academy and InReview, the program seeks to develop the next generation of arts reviewers and rebuild the practice of robust discourse and analysis of South Australian performing and visual arts. The mentoring program – now in its fourth year – connects experienced arts writers with emerging voices to strengthen editorial coverage of arts and culture in South Australia.
Through this mentorship Edmund Black is looking to hone his writing skills, develop his craft and build a portfolio of published articles. 'I firmly believe that developing my skillsets as a writer and a performer side by side will enable me to improve faster, develop further, and provide nuance to both,' said Edmund.
