Welcome to a new series on the AF blog, where we talk to theatre industry professionals to find out more about their jobs. Everyone knows what an actor does, but it takes a lot more than just the people on stage to make a show. Please join us as we quiz people in all sorts of cool theatre jobs on their work, what it involves, and how you could do the same. Our first point of call is Daniel Goldman, artistic director of CASA, London’s only Latin American theatre festival.
