VOICES

At ELAM our creativity is not limited to music, film or gaming - our Trainees and staff are true polymaths. Our unique curriculum allows us to fuse songwriting and poetry, with news articles, gig reviews, and some of our favourite books. Some Trainees have even written successful plays which have been performed at the National Theatre. Here is a brief selection of some original work from our Trainees, and staff, for you to enjoy. These are original pieces and represent the views of those who work and study at ELAM.
