watching all this home-grown British theatre talent thrive, knowing that we all cut our teeth at vault fest, at Ed fringe, at tiny venues who had the capacity to take a chance on newbies. where is all that now? Don’t be fooled: we’re old. Young teams need what we had.

As someone who has spent a LOT of time thinking about co-creation over the last 15 years, I see a lot of orgs and processes claiming that things are co-created when I don’t think they really are.

Here's what our fab mentee @megsydoyle @TheLetterRoom has been up to-
