Just earlier today - “That’s the rendering tho. I wanna see the real thing!!!” “That is the real thing!!”
It's hard to describe just how breathtaking @tkhaydesign's #Constellations set design is - 1.5 miles of colour-changing fibre optic cables stretching across the Round look INCREDIBLE. Opening Friday for two weeks only 👇 https://t.co/Neyuz25N6i 📸 @bartpics | @TurnstoneMedia

My experience at the @thesjt has been nothing short of phenomenal. They have been nothing but the most supportive people to work with. I’m really looking forward to the opening of our show but will be sad to leave!
.@tkhaydesign talks to @NickAhad @yorkshirepost about winning awards - and fumbling! -, his path from architecture to theatre design, and working with our AD @PaulRobinsonAD on #Constellations, opening this Friday ✨🐝 https://t.co/Zbec8t2ETx

I love my job, and am just glad I've somehow stuck on through effort, luck, and circumstance.

It reinforces the notion/insecurities so many minorities have of being a quota-hire, and alienates the majority reading the ad - hence the need to explain why this job needs you to not be white/straight .etc

And the bit about necessarily being of the global majority... unless the nature of the job mandates it, I've always found that job spec very disturbing.

(I'm not sure if being under 25 means that you can be paid at that rate for some reason)

This is part of the reason why mostly only people with a financial safety net can work in/start out in theatre :(

Immeasurable thanks to @LotteWakeham and the @octagontheatre for believing in me from the @TheLinburyTrust process, to @kasharshad for directing @VinayPatel's story with such tenderness and care (on a metal mesh bridge no less)
