Choreographer Aletta Collins, Gender pay gap, Life with disfigurement, Suffragette in the family
Choreographer Aletta Collins discusses her latest project Coraline; Andria Zafirakou talks about winning the Global Teacher prize; the gender pay gap; life with disfigurement.
Aletta Collins is one of the UK's most versatile choreographers, working across ballet, theatre, music videos and opera. She talks to Jane about her latest project Coraline which opens soon at the Royal Opera House, her career and women in the profession.
Andria Zafirakou, an arts and textiles teacher from Alperton community school in Brent, north-west London, has become the first Briton to win the Global Teacher prize. Brent is said to be one of the most ethnically diverse places in the UK, with 130 different languages spoken in the borough. Jane talks to her just hours after she received the award in Dubai about why she thought she'd won.
With the deadline for companies to report the pay differences between their male and female employees looming we look at what happens next with Rebecca Hilsenrath, Chief Executive of Equality and Human Rights Commission, who are responsible for making sure employers comply with the law.
Plus, "Disfigurement is the state of having one's appearance deeply and persistently harmed medically." But what if others can't see it? What if you go through life going out of your way to hide it - does it still have the same emotional impact?
And a suffragette in the family, listener Jane Mace tells us about her ancestor Emmeline Pethick Lawrence.
