Dear theatres, start creating salaried positions NOW. More associate artists positions,more paid schemes.Smaller org are already doing this, there's no excuse. And I beg, if you are on a salary pass any opportunities to your freelance colleagues. So many of us are drowning.

A revival of all Sarah Kane’s plays. An ensemble of actors playing in all of them. One week it’s Crave, then Phaedra’s Love. 5 different directors. One designer creating a multipurpose set. One can dream. Call me naive, but I don’t see it as risk.

It can overthrown governments.
It can make walls fall.
It can bring people together.
It just doesn't happen in some pseudo intellectual middle class vacuum where no responsibility is taken. It just doesnt.

I was 17 when I first read Stanislavski's famous words 'love the art in yourself, not yourself in the art'. It was always my mantra, but the last 6 months brought my understanding of these words to a completely new level. Cherish that love, because it can't be bought.

I genuinely think change in theatre will only take place if we stick together. Unlearning patriarchal bs about competing with each other takes time and effort but it's worth it. We are not in competition, we are all unique and all of us are different practicioners.

getting tired of the 'based outside London' in many call outs. As if being in London meant you were showered with opportunities and didn't have to graft 24/7 to survive. If diversyfing is what you are after just say you want to hear from people who didn't go to a private school.
