About Compass Arts
Compass: From the Latin “com”- (together) and “passus”- (the way, route).
A device used to determine where you’re at and where you’re heading.
The range of musical notes in a voice or instrument.
Compass Arts came about thanks to an artistic collaboration that exploded into a business, making the most of the one-of-a-kind professional connection, experience and knowledge that Yago and Holly found within minutes of first working together. Both having had extensive international careers in many fields within the performing arts, their lives coincided in the studio, and they haven’t looked back since. They are now on a mission to build a strong creative and supportive community of performers, with opportunities both for training and professional development, as well as paid professional employment on stage, screen, and in the studio.
