Thanks @EricaBLove and @CultureCentral for making this event possible and to @StratfordPlays
for hosting. Creative Placemaking is so important and it's brilliant it was such a good day. We @TheRSC loved being part of it.
@TheRSC I find myself so proud tonight of all that we are and all that we are endeavouring to be. #37Plays, the most ambitious playwriting invitation ever launched, David Edgar’s furiously timely #ChristmasCarol in rehearsal, the #Mischief festival reopening The Other Place 1/1
We’re delighted to announce that Daniel Evans and Tamara Harvey will become the Co-Artistic Directors of the Royal Shakespeare Company from June 2023.

The Music Department is very sad to hear about this report concerning our student Harvey Parker this evening.
You can find a link to the Crowdfunding page set up by Harvey's family and friends here: https://t.co/kNO9snTkYD
Still can't quite believe we managed to achieve this big and beautiful thing last September.
Not only was it my proudest moment of 2021, but my career to date.
Our love letter to Cov, produced by @Coventry2021, @TheRSC and the community.

Absolutely. @touretteshero
"The real story should be about how inadequate access is across the board – but reporting this would create much less moral outrage than the idea that we take care of audiences and celebrate their diversity."
Loud and Clear @IncArtsUK1 "not only does culture need diversity, but culture needs collective action to dial down the volume on racism.We know who the real ‘vocal minority’ is–it’s not those seeking greater understanding and inclusion for all in society."

The MU condemns all forms of racism, and is appalled at the racist abuse directed at players and the eruption of racism after last night’s #Euro2020Final.
This highlights the need for us all to be vocal about racial equality and justice. (1/3)
What a thread @jojoharper@Paraorchestra and exactly the right challenge: "use the next stage of the roadmap to signal support for all disabled artists, audiences and employees"
Since last Sept, @Paraorchestra has worked tirelessly to ensure that it continued to make work with our musicians & creatives in a safe (by which I mean Covid-safe) way.
It was 100% person-centred.
Today marks the start of our online Playmaking Festival, featuring 21 performance pieces created by young people from our Associate Schools and our Shakespeare Nation partnership.

Much interesting here from @chiggi, especially the reminder of the all too painfully real “institutional conservatism that can overtake a group of people, though they may be individually progressive”.
Questioning the norm and making change is absolutely the current task. Put so well by Yamin Choudury @HackneyEmpire: “I want us to question why we thought it was normal in the first place.”
