Any young playwrights out there as thrilled as I am that theatre is back, & want to spend time writing in real life, for real, live performances - come on in. The course is $139, happening August 14-18 & again August 21-25. Cannot wait to hear these stories #CHQ2023 #BeHereNow

@abby4thepeople - & having lived in Europe for 18 years, I can't think of any western nation that deserves holidays more than USA; our employment laws & benefits are criminally shite. Redefine dodgy national holidays (4th July, Thanksgiving, Presidents Day...) for yourself & take a break, y'all

Found a new art home (Café OTO in Dalston) & a new family of incredible musicians (from Kurdistan+NI). Met the first choir to ever remind me of Hive (Melos from Lithuania). Wrote & performed a piece called The Theatre on the Other Side of Town is On Fire. Last weekend wins it all

What an incredible weekend in London to perform in a two-day Cafe OTO residency with our Sonorities + Space21 collective. We explored various practices and acts, a solo and collaborative act with special guest Melos, and engaged in delightful conversations with audience members.

Our arts sector has been decimated year on year with short sighted cuts. It can't be allowed to continue. Investment in grassroots orgs & people = essential for global success, creating opportunities & enriching lives. Resist the cuts. Sign the petition👇 megaphone.org.uk/petitions/resi…

@o0oColmo0o @francis_mezza @finn_kennedy Arts Council are setting up a consultation body for freelancers, & talking about making their structures more flexible so individuals & collectives can access more funds. Still at the talking stage tho. It’s pretty effing dire here tbh - even before these new 10% cuts

In no way is it sustainable. In NI the only way to be truly financially secure as a theatre director is to be the artistic director of an annually funded company or the head of a venue… 1/2

Following my tweet about directors' fees yesterday, @StageDirectors brilliantly alerted me to their census which has updated stats on directors fees. It's not good as you will see below. (A fee of £3,841.73 works out as £52.62 per day by my formula) stagedirectorsuk.com/wp-content/upl…

Christian psychology stereotyping artists by way of defining creativity.... 😐 Artists challenge ideas, that is our job, some speak loudly, some are soft spoken. We "push on to newer worlds" with all creative practitioners, writers, composers & film makers as attentive observers

@Hayley_Cameron I’m being told by everyone just now about Fexofenadine like it’s a song everyone sings along to at a wedding that I’ve never heard of - will give it a go!

Hayfever has sat on top of a bad cold for over a week now & it’s the worst it’s ever been? Head feels stuffed. Can’t sleep & developing mad core muscles from coughing. Crucifying my ability to work at a bad moment. Have tried all the drugs. Miracles sought. What’s worked for you?
