Our week in Switzerland has been going well. Before this, we had a day in Lenzburg, where Katrin from @TheatreAmateurs has focussed her research, after finding some wonderful archival traces of amateur theatre there.

Get knowledgeable about your GTA contract @uniofwarwick postgrads who teach!

@intersticis This is all fantastic! Thank you Eli. I’ll look them up, but if you do have direct ways to contact them, that’d be appreciated.

Advice please folks. We have a conference in Venice next year on European amateur theatre. We’re keen to get the CFP out to relevant networks in Europe - any suggestions on where to send it, or organisations to approach? We’ve done STR, IFTR, EASTAP, ANTS, DramaHE.

@Dr_A_Hartl @intersticis That’s fantastic! Could you DM me the best email address.
