"That’s the battle, not to protect what we have, but to imagine a better future and then insist on it." Read Alan's latest blog on choosing the right endings to ensure the best beginnings follow on. We go again tomorrow pals.

#WhentheworldTurns by Polyglot Theatre Oily Cart Arts Centre Melbourne brings art and nature to those that have the least access to it in society. My spatial design is intended as a celebration of life, a healing space for our turbulent times. youtube.com/watch?v=nACOeP…

Great to see that there will be a 20% increase in organisations delivering creative and cultural activity for children and young people as part of the new Arts Council England #NPO

Great opportunity!

Quite a few DMs & WhatsApps asking if New Diorama Theatre have lost our NPO funding. We never had it and didn't apply. So we're fine - but thanks for the concern! Sorry to those getting bad news - there are great adventures to be had outside of NPO. Pretty extraordinary ones, in fact.

Relieved, happy and grateful our bid was successful ❤and that inclusive/childrens theatre has been valued. Perturbed at the thought of going through this every 3 years. So many incredible artists/orgs, making beautiful work for years, can have it suddenly taken away. Brutal 😒

A great day for sensory theatre 💜 congrats to Frozen Light Bamboozle Theatre Company second hand dance for too long there's only been one type of theatre available for young people facing the most barriers to access. Now, a healthy, accessible, and supported creative ecology emerges!!😎❤💪

My name is Greta Greta McMillan and I use an eyegaze communicator to talk, paint, make music and make films. I will be posting all day from Oily Cart's Twitter for International Day of Disabled People. #ArtistTakeover #IDPwD22 #StudioGreta Drake Music Scotland

I love to do creative collaborations: Sinnerligt was with @EllieOilyCart and @laurablake_studio, and Eva from @scensehudik. They took my painting of Staffin Beach and made it into a 3D sensory place to experience. #ArtistTakeover #IDPwD22 #StudioGreta Greta McMillan

Instead of backing 1000s of green jobs & sustainable, long-term economic revival, Govt has backed a climate-busting, backward-looking, stranded asset coal mine. The decision to greenlight this mine is a climate crime against humanity - & we must challenge it every step of the way

This week we’ve been devising a new show with Ockham's Razor, playing with positive risk and the sense of movement. We spoke with Esther Veale about her sister Mary and the value of risky experiences for people who experience the most barriers to access. oilycart.org.uk/resources/posi…

Spent the week playing and exploring ideas for a new outdoor kinaesthetic show with the incredible Ockham's Razor. Thanks to 101 Outdoor Arts for having us!

Thanks ClownsWithoutBorders for stimulating day with incredible arts orgs working with children/young people looking at how we shift power to those we make work for and with. At Oily Cart we're thinking about how our sensory philosophy can transform our governance and open it up..

Hello, I am looking for recommendations for really shit hot free lance producers for pitching to venues and tour booking / building partnerships. Would love some recommendations
