Over one hundred performing arts educators and students held a protest in the city today to demand the government address their concerns.
The group which includes dance, drama and music students say they have received no guidelines for the resumption of indoor classes and claim they have been forgotten by the government.
Performing arts educators say the continued closure of the sector has had a huge impact on students mental health and are calling for clarity before September.
These young performers told RedFM News about why they are protesting today:
