The Theatre Industry is dying, and it’s dying now.
Not everyone likes theatre, but if you watch Film/TV this is going to affect you, because much of what & who you watch had their origins in theatre, whether it’s Fleabag or the Opening Ceremony of the Olympic Games [THREAD]

'simple act of stepping onto the mat- a commitment to our sense of well-being... it's not about lifting your leg to your ear! more about falling over, steadying yourself- getting back up again, laughing, releasing fears and anxieties.. a journey to get to know yourself again.'
