#NetflixAndChill is helmed by @ActLukeAdamson, returning to @draytonarmsSW5 where he had a hit with Yorkshire-set #BeinEarnest.

'As someone who's battled with my #mentalhealth, I wanted to be at the forefront of the conversation,' he says 👉 https://t.co/R4l6Dm4HCe #NandC20 #ad

Another fab idea by @ScarlettMaltman and @cathyreadUK - a lovely way to put a positive spin on the incredibly difficult issue of mental health in the arts 🌥

[Industry Minds @IndustryMindsUK]

We have some news...

To celebrate 1 year this is what we have decided to do. To ensure we constantly recognise, grow, build and support one another & mental health in the arts.

Voting is now open via link in bio!

Thank you @GivernyMasso @TheStage ❤️

https://t.co/7mnSM19mKY The pressure to maintain a certain body type can put huge strain on a performer’s mental health, no matter their gender. It’s great to see conversations like this happening!

[Performers in Mind @performerinmind]

Another group of performers in training better equipped to deal with the challenges of the arts industry thanks to @sophielinderlee workshop and YOUR support 🙌

[Performers in Mind @performerinmind]

@Counselingdance @RADheadquarters @mandyrose1 @weareminding Awesome!

[Performers in Mind @performerinmind]

We’re so glad to have been able to fund a workshop delivered for performers-in-training at the Hammond School today!

[Performers in Mind @performerinmind]

This kind of recruitment practice is so completely unnecessary! Making auditionees’ lives harder for NO valid reason is incredibly irresponsible in terms of potential impact on their welfare.

[Performers in Mind @performerinmind]

@IndustryMindsUK @madedotcom @bumble So sorry we couldn’t be there!! Looks incredible x

[Performers in Mind @performerinmind]

An uplifting story of those within the theatre listening, caring and supporting each other. A reminder for us all to take the time to do the same if we can. #WomenOfWaitress

[Waitress The Musical @WaitressUK]

"We had drinks after work, she talked through her issues, and after a while we made her laugh. Hopefully she was able to face the next day with a bit more positivity. I think a lot of the time it’s just listening to someone that is a big help." (6/7)

[Chris Whitehead @whitehead_chris]

A teacher at drama school told me I was an absolute bitch and that no-one would ever hire me- at 19yo it almost broke me. About 8 years later after I'd become a Musical Director, I auditioned him for a show. He almost shat his pants when he saw me behind the table. Be nice, kids.

[Tom Xander @TomXander2]

Highlight of my career so far;

A woman and her husband on the tube platform recognise me from the show and so she steps forward and her husband steps back and ‘slyly’ takes a photo of her with me in the background.

I USED TO BE THAT GUY AND NOW IM THAT GUY.

Life, made.
