If any drama tutor or official tells you they are 'preparing you for the industry' by treating you badly they are lying. This industry can indeed be harsh. Anyone who is not supporting your safety & actively working to change the system is profiting from it, not addressing it.

This is major. Exclusive ownership of theatre & cinema chains by a small number of gatekeepers has played a large part in keeping the distribution doors locked to inclusive talent for over a century.

Beyonce is fabulous & has earned her success. She also now has a team of people who add at least 8 hours of their day to hers. Do use your own time well but don't allow big brands like ASOS to 'time shame' you for clicks.
