Many governments now advising people to avoid travel to the US, a UK punk band was denied access and deported because of their stand on Trump. It will be at least another 4 years until I travel to the US. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

We worked with Alex @derbytheatre.bsky.social he was an incredibly generous soul who allowed our creative team and young people to adapt his brilliant novel #Homegirl. Very sad news to lose this talent and light in the world www.theguardian.com/books/2025/m...

Buzzing rehearsal room this week with @maisonfoo.bsky.social upstairs and Sarah Kolawole downstairs - always busy @derbytheatre.bsky.social

Agree @thestage.co.uk @lyngardnertheatre.bsky.social we held a scratch night last Saturday with In Good Co. Artists paid £300, got professional photos &footage of sharing. Other theatres need to step up and offer the same or better especially those funded more edition.thestage.co.uk/2025/03/17/l...

Meanwhile we have been supporting Sarah Kolawole to make sensory theatre for children with some other brilliant artists as part of our partnership with @graeaetheatre.bsky.social Beyond

Does this signal the death knell of the industry systematically removing artistic voices from positions of power? Or of putting in place inexperienced artists without the right support? we work in an industry that doesn’t allow artistry to thrive when we need that more than ever atm

Delighted to be supporting this @fifthword fifthword.co.uk/productions/...
