Barrel Organ

We've just come back from the national student drama festival. Nought like watching young people put on new shows (with new people they've just met & in a short period of time) & dealing with new environments, to be excited about the future. 🏹

Things can be a bit nebulous out there.

Why does everything have to be a bloody pipeline?

Our trustees turn up to meetings when they're under the weather or at the Houses of Parliament. #Icons

(And what a lovely & generous group of young performers!).

You know its something good when we're talking about it long into the night, in a bar BO used to hang out in. Been lovely to see our birthplace. Goodnight! X

6 diverse young people sat on chairs in a line, on stage, during a tech rehearsal.

T-minus ninety minutes until this fabulous team shares Tess at @warwickarts. Theyre doing fab and what a lovely space (serious talk).

(Fun fact: this is Barrel Organ's debut in the WAC studio, despite the fact we performed our first show in a dressing room backstage over ten years ago)

Warwick uni stills smells the same for them.

You can say whatever you like, no-ones gonna read it!- Dan, after I threaten to let people know that the tech box in the theatre we're in, you can't really see anyone/the stage. He used to tell people to talk louder for the Cues. #nostalgia

Dan is out getting a punnet of grapes. A nostalgic errand.

Reunited with the team who are reuniting at uni. I'm watching them reminisce and get all teary eyed. Dan told me to 'do what you want!' when I butted in about bluesky.

If you've joined us from the other place. Hello. I think we have the right room. I might play you some music or read you a quote. Inspired by industry reports.

Just @slunglowalan.bsky.social reading this. So that's okay.
