[Kelsey Dann @DamnKelseyDann]

I want to thank all the truly wonderful and creative people I worked with these past couple weeks, facilitators, mentors, and most of all my fellow campers (get it, TENT??)
I can't wait to work with you and see those brilliantly inspired playdo ideas come to life 💕

Had a great time taking over the TENT account today for some very eye opening discussions! Cheers from @Marium_R xoxo

When differentiating between an accommodation that is needed for a performer to perform and stylistic choices, how do able bodied people feel about making that distinction in the context of criticism? #UrgentExchange

[TENT (FringeTO) @TENTfringe]

@RadioMaga is talking about the current landscape of criticism in Toronto, its strengths and weaknesses, and what an ideal landscape would look like #UrgentExchange

[TENT (FringeTO) @TENTfringe]

@Shay_Erlich is facilitating a discussion on criticism in disability art, establishing ground rules for critics and talking about the standards that we hold disability art to #UrgentExchange

[TENT (FringeTO) @TENTfringe]

@KarenFricker2 will be discussing embedded criticism, a "behind the scenes" way of approaching criticism that isn't about analyzing and judging but more about following a creative process, and what this can bring to theatre criticism #UrgentExchange

[TENT (FringeTO) @TENTfringe]

20 minutes!! #UrgentExchange #FringeTO

[Marium R. @Marium_R]

Hello lovely theatre people, I will be taking over the @TENTfringe account tonight at 5PM for our #UrgentExchange event! Come down to the #PSPatio to have a lively discussion about 'The New Faces of Criticism' #fringeTO

[TENT (FringeTO) @TENTfringe]

Thank you AFC @afchelps for all of the work that you do to help artists survive financial crises!!! #fringeto #UrgentExchange

We had an amazing time taking over the TENT twitter and talking mental health with @GeneratorTO at #fringeTO

You can find more info on all the resources mentioned during the tweet-storm by heading to @GeneratorTO. Take care of yourselves, fellow artists! #UrgentExchange

[TENT (FringeTO) @TENTfringe]

Ditto, gal! - @camilleintson https://t.co/4tPTZRV75L

[TENT (FringeTO) @TENTfringe]

Such a great idea, peer support groups are where it’s at, artists!! https://t.co/YRsYko1r62

[TENT (FringeTO) @TENTfringe]

What do "safe spaces" in rehearsal rooms look like??? How can we "check in" in the rehearsal room to make sure our actors are O.K.? How can we make actors feel comfortable disclosing their states to us as directors? #UrgentExchange @GeneratorTO #FringeTO

[TENT (FringeTO) @TENTfringe]

How can we develop accountability for ourselves and our health when we are constantly, as artists, asked to perform at the limits of our minds and bodies? #FringeTO #UrgentExchange @GeneratorTO @Toronto_Fringe

[TENT (FringeTO) @TENTfringe]

Let’s listen to each other and take care of each other- “We’re all just people working together in a room” @cara_spooner #UrgentExchange #artandmentalhealth #FringeTO @GeneratorTO

[TENT (FringeTO) @TENTfringe]

Pro-Tip from Cara Spooner: make space for your artists to check in at the beginning and the end of every rehearsal #UrgentExchange #mentalhealth #FringeTO @GeneratorTO @Toronto_Fringe

[TENT (FringeTO) @TENTfringe]

@GeneratorTO YES! 🙌🏻🙌🏼🙌🏽🙌🏾🙌🏿

[TENT (FringeTO) @TENTfringe]

Very impactful point as a #UrgentExchange participant points out how addiction can occur as we self-medicate...as we sit next to the PS Bar @GeneratorTO @Toronto_Fringe #PSpatio #FringeTO

[TENT (FringeTO) @TENTfringe]

The “pay your dues” mentality can be super damaging- some artists will say yes to everything without reflecting, recovering, and reaching out for support if needed #UrgentExchange #FringeTO @GeneratorTO @Toronto_Fringe #PSpatio
