Well that is FANTASTIC news. Why can’t the news have more headlines like this 💖 www.positive.news/lifestyle/ar...

Rick Rubin:

The longevity of your (theatre) company depends less on whether you can make good shows (a given), and more on whether you can evolve your company into an authentic thinking environment.

The mission statement you wrote down for your company may not be the mission statement your company actually has.

Dreaming begins where certainty fails.

“I don’t know why people expect art to make sense. They accept the fact that life doesn’t make sense.” — David Lynch

Today I had the honour of sharing some words in celebration of an extraordinary man. Pierre Audi who founded the Almeida Theatre and whose vision was instrumental in the start of my career in theatre. Thank you Pierre for your vision, generosity and believing in me.

Please know that improvising and devising is a political act of dreaming in public.

I now realise in my 60s that I am and I have always been ADHD. My medication was theatre but my healing was Impro. #Impro #Improv #ADHD #improvisation

A night out with my fourteen year old son.

You’re not telling me Samuel Becket wasn’t neurodivergent.

Open space is not just an event.. it’s a lifestyle. #DandD21 #openspacetechnolgy

Something exciting is happening at Devoted & Disgruntled. We started with £500 in the middle of the room. A simple question: What happens if we decide together-without pitching, without judging-who this should go to? Over the last day, people have been quietly adding to it. We’re just over £800

My journaling is getting more interesting every day

See you tomorrow at #D&D21 where we will be the right people to help make the field of theatre a better place.

We are ready for you to open space

“Politicians who bleat on about overdiagnosis don’t know what they’re talking about. They’re one step away from Robert Kennedy" “I don’t know any parent of an autistic child that says: ‘I really want a diagnosis because, I know it’s an exaggeration, but I want the diagnosis just to feel better’"

I love how baristas put things like hearts on top of your coffee to show you how they think of you as a customer. But I’m not sure what’s going on here

Sometimes I think that the I Ching’s many pages of advice and hexagrams could be translated into. “Don’t do anything till you’ve calmed down”

Some people measure out their life in coffee spoons. I measure it by how much is left of Brighton Pier. Who will last longest before returning to the big sea.

I am glad my daughter’s cat Arti came home after being locked in a garage for four days.

Akhnaten at LA Opera was amazing. So beautiful.

John Holiday was 🔥🔥🔥 in the LA Opera production of Akhenaten. This was so special.

Finally got to see the opera I've been wanting to see for years and years - Akhnaten was SO FUCKING GOOD!!! The music, the imagery and symbology that went along with it... Just beautifully done. I hope I'll be able to see the costumes at a museum soemtime. Thanks for making my dream come true, T 😍

I saw Akhenaten a few summers ago at the Met - it's still my favorite opera to date! It is the absolute PERFECT date 😍 I'm happy someone is taking care of you as you deserve! 🎭

Thank you Joe-san for your support and wise guidance on this precious project.

Where to begin with this

We saw "My Neighbour Totoro" when it opened at the barbican and it was delightful www.theguardian.com/stage/galler...

I LOVE this musical. Such a positive sweet story with lovely fantastic animals #totoro www.theguardian.com/stage/galler...

Glad you had a fun day! Totoro is such an amazing show the puppets are absolutely stunning. It’s like watching magic come to life on stage.

I could not be prouder of the new Totoro company. Caretakers of beauty, compassion, kindness and ridiculously cool puppets. #Totoro @improbable1.bsky.social

I’m at Akhenaten at the LA Opera and I’m not exaggerating when I tell you literally EVERYONE is here except Timothée Chalamet

Live theatre and performance shouldn’t aim to compete with the attention economy it should aim to reset and be the antidote to the attention economy.

The new company of My Neighbour Totoro take their first bows in the West End A new adventure has begun! 💚✨ Celebrating our new and returning neighbours at the Gillian Lynne Theatre. #FindYourSpirit

Welcome to Matsugo! 🏠 Sending best wishes to the new West End company of #MyNeighbourTotoro, beginning performances tonight. ☺️💚 #FindYourSpirit

Congratulations!!!

Opera is not dying, Timothée, it's thriving. In Europe alone, 14m a year attend (2.5m under 25s) worth €10bn. Since 2000 La Traviata had 30,000 performances. In its lifetime it's been seen by half a billion people and recorded 291 times. Check back in 180yrs to see how Marty Supreme is doing, yeah?

Incredible response, LA Opera I was and remain both familiar with your game and a devoted fan.
