An important article by @MrNickClark #georgiasnow How is Brexit impacting UK theatremakers? thestage.co.uk/long-reads/a-p… @FreelancersMake @DanAyling1 @DeborahAnnetts @ed_lyon @crowleyjo @PauleConstable @TamaraRojo1 @NadPatel1 @ProjektEuropa @jnjokugoodwin

@mrdavidjays @FreelancersMake I couldn’t agree more @mrdavidjays Critics and journalist need to be given the word count that allows their views.

@mrdavidjays I have experienced the reviews in Europe to be encompassing and for them to analysis all the artists involved. Critiquing the production, it’s concept and views, rather than the few. It takes many to create #youasked :) @FreelancersMake

Can you hear that Prime Minister !

Great news for the industry. Let’s make sure it reaches the everyone who is in need of it right now. But let’s not forget this should not turn our focus off helping the arts workers abroad Budget 2021: Chancellor set to announce £400m for arts sector bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politi…

What’s that, you say? The major Golden Globes awarded to those skilled or found in British Theatre? Daniel Kaluuya wrote a play aged 9, breakout role @royalcourt. John Boyega at @TheatrePeckham. @JoshOConnor15 at @BristolOldVic, Emma Corrin in student theatre. Save the Arts 🎭

Did you know, there are an estimated 296,000 jobs in the Arts? That's 1.1% of the entire UK workforce who contribute £7.7 Billion to the economy. In Theatre, over 70% of that workforce is Freelance. Hello!? Can you hear us now!? #FreelancersMakeTheatreWork

@FreelancersMake @guardian Thank you for the support as we all fight to be heard together!

Lord Bassam of Brighton... 'will DCMS ministers now lobby the chancellor to admit the mistakes of the past & accept & correct the injustice of excluding so many of our hardworking freelancers in the cultural industries' More: freelancersmaketheatrework.com/house-of-lords…

@KevinBrennanMP As a British National in the arts sector currently working overseas in Europe. Priti Patel frowns upon essential travel. However, due to the lack of support, funding and recognition of the arts sector. I consider a self employed, artist after a year of unemployment as essential!

Today I asked the Home Secretary, Priti Patel, a very simple and direct question - how many people entering the UK does the government estimate will have to quarantine in hotels and how many will not under new measures? Worryingly she couldn't give me an answer.
