Actors: The Lou Stein Studio is in an inclusive environment where neurodiverse actors take the lead. There are regular tranches at Theatre Deli where my methodology is used to inspire creative approaches to characterisation. If this could be of interest to you let me know.

Forty years ago this year (sorry you’ve missed it by a few years). This fun-raiser celebrated the creation of a ground-breaking sister theatre to the Gate, Notting Hill- The Gate at the Latchmere. I hope that a new magic can found for the current incarnation of the Gate Theatre.

An enjoyable evening with @mike_kelson watching 'Mad Cow' musical by @quaestiopro at @garlingetheatre Kent. Music was beautiful & a thought provoking theatre piece. This pro vegan theatre is newly opened by @AlisonHarrisUK & partner Terry. This musical supported that ethos 🐄🐮

[Lou Stein @SteinLou]

Great discussion with Deirdre Gribbin and #shaykaurgrewal@BBCRadioLondon about the role small charities like Venus Blazing Music Trust play within the larger charity ecosystem. And why government support for small charities at this election time is important to the UK as a whole.

[Deirdre Gribbin -Composer for concert and screen @GribbinDeirdre]

I enjoyed talking to #shaykaurgrewal @BBCRadioLondon about Venus Blazing Music Trust @KingsPlace in the context of Small Charity Week. Would love to talk more in-person about the impact small charities like ours have on bigger things.

@GribbinDeirdre @LibDemPress If you are a part of a family who cares for a person who needs support, you’ll get this. Move social care up the agenda. Even if party leaders don’t get it (yet) there are a lot of voters who do.

[Lou Stein @SteinLou]

Thanks Pat. The performing arts community really needs to lobby for the centrality of arts in the education of our young people. x

@SteinLou @venusblazing That's great Lou ❤️ Xx

Very pleased to be invited to be an expert panel speaker at the Educators’ Trust Summer Event 2024 Mental Health in Education — Inspiring Solutions.
I was pleased to be able to represent the importance of performing arts engagement within education for the neurodiverse community.

Just put the political circus aside and listen to these heartfelt and moving words which echo the fears of millions of us. Keep social care high on the agenda.
