A little thread, or "why this, why now?"

We wanted to help...

@zoomsical @OutofHandATL Sounds great. Will do!

[LAG: A Zoomsical @zoomsical]

@digital_stages we’re with a small theatre company in Atlanta (@OutofHandATL) and just digitally premiered the first original, non-TYA, musical comedy while adhering to #SocialDistancing guidelines throughout rehearsals and production. Take a look? https://t.co/6DpCUGpqDz

We’ve been a bit quiet. We’re just figuring out what to do with what we’ve built. These things take time.

Exciting! Just called a session at this afternoon‘s @DandDUK on building a learning community for digital theatre and arts practice. 😍😍😍 (something I probably wouldn’t have done IRL)

Theatre’s future is best served by conversations that involve us all, says @LynGardner – the most local, networked and openly transparent organisations are best placed to be useful in this crisis – and to survive it https://t.co/wAhmsSAh9r

[lyngardner @lyngardner]

A tiny proportion of the industry is very busy on Zoom inventing the future, while the vast majority are wondering whether they have a future in the industry at all and fear their voices are heard less than ever.

[Matthew Parker 🏳️‍🌈 (he/him) @MatthewParker75]

I don’t claim to have the answers obvs. But if I can be of any help at all in these times to any theatre makers out there who wanna ask anything about putting on a show I’d be bloody delighted to do so. Email me at [email protected] to arrange. Am starting these this week.

"Art isn’t going to save us, but it might help us to find a way through things, together." A conversation about collaboration, collectives and what comes next featuring @lesca_b @Sleepw_lk @LowriEvans and @xavinisms https://t.co/Kh1jYrP9NT

[Digital Stages @digital_stages]

One week on. Following some great and useful conversations we’re going to refocus some elements of the community to make it more useful. It’s an evolving project...

Really, @cbs? You're going to air a Grease sing-a-long in place of the @TheTonyAwards? Whose grandmother's idea was this? (no offense, Nana) Leave the sing-a-longs to Disney and give live theatre back the ONE NIGHT of respect it gets per year.
