I’d like to say a huge #ThanksToYou to #NationalLottery players for funding amazing projects across the UK, including #WordsToOurDaughters, an inter generational projects with women, girls & @WedsCollective These projects wouldn’t be possible without it! 🤞🏼
This is home to a brand new theatre writers challenge. 1 writer per day is given a prompt and challenged to make & present on Twitter a 5 minute play by 6.30pm the following day #writerstogetherinisolation#WritingCommunity#keepwriting
Ok so if you are fucked from gigs being cancelled DM me. I will try to match to a person who can financially help you. Artists should help one another. Artists helped me when Frank got sick.
This is my first #OVConnect & I'm excited. I'm a writer-performer looking to share inspiration and connect with women theatre producers in the north (west and east, Yorkshire upwards - particularly Hull) who are interested in early stage projects
Developing #wordstoourdaughters with national lottery funding was iconic for us as it allowed us to meet over 200 women & girls across the country to talk about what it’s like to be a woman #NationalLottery25
98% of actors don’t earn their main source of income from acting. NINETY EIGHT PERCENT!! An actor having another job is NOT NEWS...Unless you’re writing an article on how dedicated/hard working actors are by working towards a goal whilst paying their bills in other ways FUCK OFF.
@OldhamColiseum have 100 word plays about Oldham displayed around the building! Great little stories about the town by loads of different writers. There’s a couple from @juliesusieb & @cescawaite tucked near the bar 👍🏼
Last night we joined with women artists for the 1st meeting of #femaleartistnetworknorth Thank you @RedBobbleTheatr for bringing us together to talk about making art in the north & how we can work to support each other in future. Excited to see what we can do! #womeninthearts
So good to have met these incredible women last night at the first #FANN meeting! If you’re a woman making art in the north (Manchester & soon to be Leeds!) follow @RedBobbleTheatr for info about the next meetings. Together we are stronger #FF @fidgettheatre @ClaireMarie333
I am currently on the hunt for plays by Black and Asian Women/NB. Also plays by women who feel they are “white other” in Britain. Also plays in translation. If you are this / have these then get in touch. That’s not an invitation for unsolicited scripts - please solicit first.
Reminder...
You still have value when you:
-Are not in an acting job.
-Don’t have an agent.
-Haven’t written a “pleased to announce tweet” in ages. Or ever!
-Aren’t getting many auditions.
-Don’t have anything “coming up.”
You. Are. Still. Valuable.
Aaah yeah! Mega excited to share this video from our Spring Ball. Amazing theatre, dance, puppetry, music, poetry — all under one roof. Same time next year?
