Creative Industries make up 6% of our economy: more than car and oil industries together. They employ 2.3million people. To cut funding is fudge-brained, cack-hearted thinking pitched very much at the highest level of economic self-harm. theguardian.com/education/2024…

Okay so having avoided dealing with the statutory templates in all of our plans & drafts. I’m going in.
Gah, Hate it when Easter falls at financial and funding year ends. It means most of us don’t get a break! Hot cross bun treat at the end to keep me going!

Okay then. Who’s going to focus on the need for creators of new work that is more than text based, old school writer focussed but more process led, made, form & cross form based practice & work?! There’s an increasing turn away from supporting this work, these artists.

Oh ffs. Make sure you have the rights and are recompensing creatives before you put their work which is subject to copyright on eh?!

Such a goddamn relief! With the drying up of commissioning, co-pro investment, a massively challenging touring landscape, venue deals lower than 2 decades ago & lack of funding literally is the only way many of us can create new theatre shows & tour work!

The thing is commissioning has gone, trusting artists, taking a punt, believing in & experimenting has gone. Maybe it’s the economy, the funding climate, the pandemic, Brexit. But maybe it’s none of these things. Maybe we just need visionary courageous curators & champions?!

Hannah was a very brilliant theatre maker, artist, producer, peer, enabler & supporter of so very many. She was also a very dear friend & collaborator with so very many. Her loss will be felt deeply. It was a privilege to have known her & see the brilliant things she created.

FFS - Annual shouting at computer screen dealing with funder template excel sheets where you can’t freeze or unfreeze cells to be able to see a full spreadsheet on a laptop. How are we still here despite ALL of the complaints about inaccessibility & administrative timewasting?!

Happy nearly 16th then! MASSIVE respect and admiration! Also bloody hell travel expenses & jobseekers (or other work!) That describes waaaaaaay too much the way the REAL creators, innovators & genuine difference makers have had to & still get by / are overlooked by this industry
