Dedicated to students Alessia, Daniel, Elynne, Esmee, Jacey, Jasmijn, Noah, Salome and Wouter, One Way or Another reveals how we process choice, and our fear of the unknown. Having experienced the same transition the students now face in their final years at the Royal Conservatory, we were able to explore the anxieties, chaos, anticipation and moments of beauty that come with decision-making.
