Alice Oseman’s work stops hearts - in a good way. They capture the delirious rush of first love, above all in the Heartstopper series - online, in books, and onscreen - which has become a sensation. Heartstopper is also all about young people finding ways to express themselves, creatively and emotionally, becoming the people they want to be - ideas that resonate with the RAD’s own ethos. But also: Alice’s mother is a dance teacher! What has dance given them?
