He’s a clever guy, is Kev. You should definitely do what he says.

I urge you to go and see A Small Enclosed Room With Alfie Murphy by @aaaprods.bsky.social when it comes to your area. It's proper good stuff. And it is coming to @storyhouselive.bsky.social - my home town!

''Just a wonderful analogy of what it feels like to be a neurodivergent person...'' What a cracking set of voxpops for A Small Enclosed Room with Alfie Murphy - a beautifully chaotic dive into neurodivergence @aaaprods.bsky.social 13th – 17th May, tix: sohotheatre.com/events/a-sma...

I know coverage of disability benefits can be very distressing. So, I’ve worked with colleagues to make a range of support visible on The Guardian’s site. If you click on a relevant news story, you’ll see a “drop box” of signposted mental health help as well as benefits advice.

You've heard enough from us so find out directy from Not F**kin' Sorry's audience on why you shouldn't miss this show! Tomorrow at @mercurytheatre.bsky.social and across the UK in March and April! 🎟 accessallareasproductions.org/production/n... ▶️ www.youtube.com/watch?v=0VKX... Full dates ⬇️

Get yourselves to Colchester next week for this beautiful lot. Genuinely one of my favourite pieces of performance EVER.

🙏❤️🙏❤️🙏

Thrilled @aaaprods.bsky.social are now on BlueSky so I can repost all the pictures of me looking proud of our artists.

Still so sad about the White Lotus theme tune guys

Spent my daytime with some brilliant organisations talking inclusion and co-leadership. Spent my evening with my students dreaming up ideas for learning disabled and autistic-led television shows. I’m happy but also my brain is absolutely done.

Guys. It’s 5pm and it’s still a tiny bit light outside. Thank GOODNESS it’s FINALLY HAPPENING.

I love him and would die to protect him.

Best post on all of Bluesky

I want to stay informed but also every time I try to read the news

Feeling enriched and inspired by a day at @graeaetheatre.bsky.social’s new writing festival. Also maybe, for the first time in ages, a **tiny** bit hopeful about theatre…?

@amybryce.bsky.social Great to meet you today Amy!

Wonderful colleague pointed out today that in our jobs (and lives) we are pretty much always walking into a room where we’re wanted. I can’t stop thinking about it. What a privilege.

TRUST - that is only tricky thing.

Today we launch the Youth Theatre Census report - a summary of everything we learnt from the Youth Theatre Census last summer. If you care about youth arts, it’s one of the most important things you’ll read this year. Download it here: bit.ly/youththeatrecensus Or read on for more.

Had a couple of drinks this evening and spent the long journey home swaying tipsily on the train. Some people in my position would text an ex. Make a crazy purchase. Do something wild. I paid for a podcast subscription so I didn’t have to wait for the next episode. RECKLESS.

Joy in 2025 is the Euston departures finally being where they belong 😍

The absurd idea that the arts (or anything for that matter) should somehow be cheap, profitable, and still world-leading at every stage from primary school to post-grad still seems to have a stranglehold on policy-makers despite the damage we're seeing daily

“She needed to do the dishes, of course, but that could wait. Potentially forever.”

Still feels quite a lot like I am shouting into the void on here, so this evening’s shout is that I LOVE DOING CREATIVE ACCESS WORK. Ok thanks bye

Doing my access work side hustle this week and feeling inspired by @voyager3.bsky.social to put the silliness and storytelling back into my day job. Lovely.

Things have improved - but what dark dreary days.

I am still very bad at being on here but I’ve picked my word of the year and I’ve shared it everywhere else so here it is… hkbryer.wordpress.com/2025/01/03/2...

They eat a cold carb They eat a hot carb They eat a cheesy carb They eat a chocolate carb They eat a carb that remind them of the good times They eat a carb that reminds them of the best times

making yourself the centre of attention then leaving without saying goodbye to a single person is actually ideal party behaviour, we should call it Bilbo-maxxing and teach the kids to do it

He’s not on here (yet), but please listen to John Kelly on @theguardian.com website today. www.theguardian.com/society/vide...

This has kept me sniggering for over 15 minutes now

Okay! Hello, hi! Zoo Co is taking part in The Big Give this week. It's been a decade since we ran one of these. We are on Day 2 of our 7 Day campaign and INCREDIBLY we have reached 43% of our goal already 👀 This funding is to help us make the next show after Perfect Show For Rachel...

Our Access All Areas board away day today had Vietnamese food, sandwich metaphors, a scarily competitive game of Splat and a baby. And some big ideas and amazing support from trustees. Inclusive governance works.

Thrilled to see that @graeaetheatre.bsky.social are here ❤️

i should be able to call the car behind and ask if they’re mad at me

Emotional. Support. Owls.

The Onion’s Exclusive Interview With Ariana Grande And Cynthia Erivo theonion.com/the-onions-e...

my candles and my soups

Was told “put on your elephant ears and listen to me, Helen” by a workshop participant today. And absolutely fair enough.

Hurrah! ❤️

I’ve been Whamageddoned. That’s the kind of thing I’d have told Twitter, so I’m saying it here now.

Folks in arts participation, youth theatre, young people’s advocacy, co-creation - who are you? Reply to this thread with a hello - I’ll turn it into a public list and let’s try and build a little community here.

Got in a lift with Rufus Wainwright. He said “ground floor?” I said “yes”

Do you know what’s great? Meeting an absolutely giant dog whose owners have decided to name Mouse. Just met a Great Dane. Never not charming and funny.
