The most useful function of a theatre outreach or participation department is not, as people often think, to change people outside 'in the community'. It's to change the organisation itself. (A thread - reposted from LinkedIn)

We have over 100 accounts in this starter pack now Remember to let us know if you'd like to be added 👇

For #TransDayOfRemembrance I want to share this extract from the dedication page of Stone Butch Blues by Leslie Feinberg ‘We need for our mission to promote racial, social and economic justice for trans youth, with freedom to self-define gender identity and expression’ - CeCe McDonald 🏳️‍⚧️

Today is Transgender Day of Remembrance. It exists to remind us of those those in our community we have lost to violence, which trans people are four times more likely to experience than cis people. This is our reality: bigotry, harassment, and violence are ever-present, and yet we still find joy.

Save the date 🗓️ We're hosting a peer-to-peer, drop-in session for Hull freelancers to come do their tax returns together, in our rehearsal space on Tuesday 14 January (11am-2pm). You bring your receipts, we'll bring the tea and biscuits.

Started my new job as Assistant Producer at LAMDA this week. Feeling very proud seeing as producing is something I learned on the job and essentially taught myself after seeing the damage COVID caused. Never actually thought I’d make a career out of it. And yet… Here’s to new beginnings 🌤️

I have nothing to contribute so far other than my boyfriend’s #cat everyone meet ✨ Fig ✨
