And there we were in the same place, same time.
Ed, you said that you wanted to reach out to Emma in the years before this chance encounter.
What was it that you wanted to say to Emma?
And I think a lot of people, a lot of young people struggle to find that sense of belonging, that sense of security and safety.
I didn't really know who I was at that point, but really allowing that space of freedom and creativity with other people allowed me to come into myself.
If I didn't have musical theatre, I don't think I would have come out.
I came out as gay when I was 14 in Abu Dhabi and I felt really, really held and really held in those spaces.
And I really just wanted to thank Emma because I think teachers have such a crucial role in spotting musical talent.
If Emma hadn't had done that, I don't think I would have joined that choir.
I don't think I would have joined that drama production and all the things that followed since.
So I really just wanted to thank Emma.
What an amazing teacher.
Emma, how does that feel knowing that you had that much of an impact on one of your students?
It makes me feel really emotional.
I've been teaching for 33 years and I think you forget sometimes that you do have an impact on young people's lives.
We do our day to day and do the things that
You know, we routinely do.
I run choir rehearsals, orchestra rehearsals.
We do shows.
And when you meet somebody, you meet them after such a long time and then they sort of tell you that you've made a difference.
