🚨 The arts sector, one of the hardest hit by the pandemic, faces a new and existential crisis from Omicron. I've signed the @Public_Campaign letter urging the Culture Secretary to protect UK culture with an emergency relief fund now. https://t.co/DoeBm3BZzR

The Government wants to impose a catastrophic 50% funding cut to arts subjects at higher education (HE) level in England. I've joined the @Public_Campaign for the Arts to tell @GavinWilliamson: arts education matters. Will you join too? https://t.co/9Dkpsi5o73

@SethAbramson Seth. I loved your talk with Russell. You articulated beautifully the way forward. Do you have any firmed ideas about how arts and artists can illuminate the pathway to the new paradigm. I bang in about this all the time and would love to hear your thoughts on it.

@LovettLogan I worked with Morris many years ago on Bookie. He was a true gent and made us young up and coming artists feel welcome on our first film sets. Sad loss.

[Simon sharkey @TNS_Simon]

@1KateMcGrath Well done to all who pushed for this. Let’s make sure the freelancers and creatives get to shape how the money reaches communities and audiences across the whole spectrum of arts and theatre. Huge opportunity to lay down pathways to new horizons.

@NTS_karen @NTSonline Still doing it in Trinidad and Tobago and Across Jamaica. Relaunching in Scotland once schools come back. Look out for news on “jumpTT” documentary film being launched-A vital voice in the TT Black Lives Matter movement. #jumptt #bigblackbox #thenecessaryspace #britishcouncil

@vicfeatherstone @RishiSunak @OliverDowden Good on all of you who made the case so strongly. Agree with you on getting the money to the freelancers and the communities. Huge opportunity to shape up a new paradigm for theatre.

[Simon sharkey @TNS_Simon]

@DavieGreig Good news from Uk and scottish governments. It’s vital now to get the funds to creatives, freelancers, communities and regions. Looking forward to some creative thinking and impactful action.

@lokiscottishrap Careful Darren, there are depths you wouldn’t believe in there. Take a line of string so you can escape the labyrinth should they entice you further in.
