“There are two ways of being creative. One can sing and dance. Or one can create an environment in which singers and dancers flourish.”
Warren Bennis
Teaching in the creative industry is something that has become part of who Ryan is. Giving both industry experience and creating a culture of honesty, hard work and respect, is exactly what Ryan has been doing since the start of his teaching journey. Working closely with many students, having both an educational and professional bond, allows for that culture to grow.
Having worked in multiple industries outside of teaching, Ryan is able to assist within multiple areas such as sports, short film and design work. His passion sits with minority sports, such as ice hockey, something which he has worked within for nearly 10 years. However, Ryan’s skills and knowledge of the industry reach further than that, as can be seen from the degree that he has helped structured at the University Centre Rotherham.
