Sometimes, it's the little things that hold weight. Like just now, the act of me creating an ACE folder on my computer. So, that's the resolution that my DYCP will not be my only funded project. It now sits in that folder as a first. I've set up the intention for more...!

The UK government mulls letting AI firms steal copyrighted work The UK government has launched a wildly long and complicated consultation about copyright and AI. All it needed was one yes or no question.

A two-show day. The Ugly Duckling @nottmplayhouse.bsky.social and The Unthanks In Winter tour at the Albert Hall.
Both joyous in their own ways.

Ok folks. This list useful because you can:

1. Be added to it (by me - pop me a message) so people can find you.

2. See who is on the list and individually follow those accounts you'd like to.

3. And this is the BIG ONE. You can 'pin to home' to get a UK theatre people feed on your home page.

"We are reviewing the curriculum to put arts and music back at the heart of the national curriculum where it belongs." - Lisa Nandy MP

We welcome the Culture Secretary's commitment to arts education. Meaningful reform is urgently needed to reverse years of decline.

Two weeks ago, I had 3 wonderful days running my very first R&D, thanks to DYCP funding from @artscouncilengland.bsky.social With fab creative talents of Ria Ashcroft and Tim Evans, and guidance from @hannahlucystone.bsky.social so many ideas were gathered. Today, I sit, absorb, and WRITE!!
