This is a huge blow by @ace_national - @DonmarWarehouse is one of the only theatres you see advertising Assistant Designer jobs that give underrepresented groups a step onto the ladder in this industry. Extremely disappointing.
London’s Donmar Warehouse has criticised the Arts Council’s decision to cut the organisation from its National Portfolio as "self-defeating and damaging to the theatre ecology". https://t.co/aEVqTK3G4f

It’s been busy couple of months and only just realised I’ve been very absent from the twitter world. So here are the news, super excited to share that I’ll be designing ‘Il Piccolo Principe’ for @teatroallascala in their next season. I’m over the moon or maybe the planet B-612 🌖

‘Mathilda Du Tillieul McNicol’s production places Francesca Chiejina’s Mimì at the heart of Puccini’s classic; she’s certainly the most emotionally mature of the central characters.’ Loved working on this @NevillHoltOpera with @MathildaduTilli 🎈

Was lucky enough to meet Haskell.I was his PA during a film festival 11 years ago,I was 17.What an experience to learn about life & art. It was precious to observe him talking about his craft, analysing it’s progress, filming and taking photographs all the time. What a legend 🙏🏻
Born on this date: Oscar-winning film cinematographer, director, & producer, Haskell Wexler (February 6, 1922-December 27, 2015). “Movies are a voyeuristic experience. You have to make the audience feel like they are peeking through a keyhole. I think of myself as the audience.”

2. The situation there has been a bit complicated other the years, to a point where the artists just stopped going to see and support the shows there. I guess you could say to was the least interesting scene in the city. Previous AD has been programming a real mixture of stuff…

1. Some excellent news from the Polish capital, and it’s theatre world. People are absolutely ecstatic, a fresh rebellious spirit can be sensed in the air. Last week Teatr Dramatyczny (this one actually is, even by it’s title, a playwright’s theatre) has appointed a new AD.
