Wine Dark Productions is live! ✨🎥 instagram.com/p/C8MmXgNIgRc/…

Great event with The VoiceOver Network @fpagnoncelli92 #VONDSPOTLIGHT

Actors put blood, sweat & tears into taping. Takes days to perfect an accent, memorise sides, friends & family give up time to read in. To hear it was for nothing & no one saw the result of the work is crushing & demeaning.

#NonUK heritage in an essentially #BritishBorn &/or Bred cast doesn't make up for continued exclusion of 1st generation #migrants. 16% of UK + 41% of London are #ForeignBorn. 'Nationality' + 'National Origin' are #EqualityAct #ProtectedCharacteristics. #Diversity MUST reflect it.

Must-read by theatre scholar @Kasia_Lech on #CulturalAppropriation in response to @MrLukowski's article on @AlmeidaTheatre's #ColdWar. "Heritage is not the same as specifically situated knowledge embedded and affected by specific experiences and social and cultural positioning."

Powerful quotes from @indigoblvd monologue that was performed beautifully by @tessabatt at our Migrants’ Cabaret a couple weeks ago. Have you ever felt like this? #migrants #immigrants #migrantscabaret #Londoncabaret #thisisourtime #monologue #monologuetimequote #newwriting

Our next set is a powerful monologue written by @indigoblvd and performed beautifully by @tessabatt #migrants #immigrants #migrantscabaret #Londoncabaret #thisisourtime #international #monologue #powerfulwords #accents #thinkaboutit youtu.be/nJSwoE4KELw

Trying to catch up with the times, we asked the AI to imagine migrant actors in London, and here are the results! There’s a slight chance we’re obsessed 😳

What a wasted opportunity to finally showcase some Italian talent

The UK produces outstanding shows.I can think of 10 musically talented Italian actors in my head right now.And not a single Italian actor was cast here.The UK does not represent European actors enough.Let us be part of those outstanding shows #CASTING #representation #actorslife
