🕵🏽Playing the young detective I could be thanks to

Check Natalia’s incredible self taping Gym! Always learning something new.

Do you think I could fit a part like this? 👀👀

Some tapes are pretty satisfying. 😅


Thank you ❤️

What if we didn’t depend on specific reviewers, 📝people who hold so much power in our industry & plenty of times have very little background to justify the influence they have on our audiences.

👀I’ve seen awful reviews in my lifetime by so called respectable reviewers who were completely unable to see a play for what it is SPECIALLY when it’s a non-white-British story.

❤️Could be really cool to start encouraging our audiences to really share their experiences, the positivity & the negative just to stretch our possibilities a little bit.
Maybe people will connect a bit more with the piece, maybe we won’t need to rely on specific reviewers (knowing that access to that is also limited to privilege) .
Maybe there are others things in your country that could be useful to adopt in the UK 🇬🇧

3 tours in China 🇨🇳 & still feels pretty surreal.

It’s only this time that I’m able to express what we have been experiencing in all this trip, people in China really caring about our work. Taking the time to get to know us and opening their spaces with open arms.

For the theatre makers working in the UK you probably know how rare this is. How difficult it is to find the bare minimum ! But China exceeds all expectations, I’m so grateful for this opportunity. Travelling expands your heart and soul.

I want to keep creating spaces where people feel heard, where there’s true collaboration & mutual aid.

In the midst of so much hate in the UK… what are the moments & experiences that keep you hopeful? ❤️

Thank you
will be in Shenzhen this week!!
