Wonderful final drama session as part of M6 Theatre Company at The Proud Trust. I've had a blast working with this group each week and they've definitely taught me way more each week than I've taught them! Here's their favourite ball, Ballina.

Over the past year I've been working with Lawrence Batley Theatre and Kirklees Libraries to deliver Sharing Stories Standing Strong. Here's a lovely film by Studio Bokehgo // John Slemensek about the project! 🙌 youtu.be/2GH1IzFxGj4?si…

Past Lives by Celine Song is probably one of the best films that has ever been made and 3 of the actors in it are the best actors alive right now. i assume it didnt get an oscar nom because theyre inventing the Nobel Prize For Film specifically for it !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We’re very excited to start building our Town of Children project today. Up 1st: ‘Making the Place - exploring creative empowerment for young people in the community. What inspires us? What connects us? How do we make it happen? And in the afternoon our 1st filmmaking workshop.

We've been super lucky to have creative practitioners and theatre-makers Ben Cain and 𝕽𝖚𝖙𝖍 join us for #townofchildren activities. Movement has been part of our creative play. See how our young filmmakers have started to transform capture of this for their films below.

Patti LuPone: “I feel as if Broadway is turning into Disneyland, circus or Las Vegas… the ticket prices: outrageous. There’s so many obstacles that prevent Theatre from being the tool that it should be in our society, which is an education.”
