One of the fun things we made last year - turning @CheddarGawjus into a ROBOT!

Sending out the show plans as a Vectorworks file is like asking to see what the video design looks like, and me sending out an Unreal Engine environment.

You mean the industry that offers the least pay for the most work with the least exposure is - shock - less attractive to workers? Bit of an own goal for the National Theatre marketing department isn't it?

So if you try and buy an Adult and a Senior ticket for an event on Fever UK you have to do the whole thing twice and pay two booking fees because their site can't handle two different sorts of tickets at once. 🤦

So… - Set/Costume Designer rates/fees = less than £150p/d are a big NO. - £150p/d has a reasonable consensus here as a *bare minimum*. Could/should we be moving forward using this as a *stabilising* minimum day rate for now, turning down all fee offers that calculate below?

So who's getting slapped this afternoon to try and make #OlivierAwards relevant again? Oh hold on, they can't do that. They don't recognise fight directors. 😂

They did try this a few years ago, but it was quickly pushed back to the late night slot. I would imagine, if it pulled in viewers, it would have stayed at primetime. But it's an awards ceremony for an industry most people happily ignore. I'm surprised it's still on TV at all!

... theatres... I beg... on your access page, put the width of your seats, average legroom, whether seats have arms or not. Have a picture of the stalls, note which end row seats put folks closest to loos. Couple of lines of text, a jpeg or two, but it can make all the difference

Ok, next week we go to Edinburgh. What shall we see?

Reasons theatre tech weeks are annoying no.355829: I'm currently behind on #StarTrekPicard , #TheMandalorian AND #rupaulsdragrace15.

Considering a new passive-aggresive theatre policy to go with the current anti-biog. If one of the designers is credited unspecifically as just 'Designer', then insist the rest of us are too. 🤣

Tomorrow I am going to the Olivier Awards and I really really really can't be bothered to go dig out a suit from the storage unit. It's 2023, why do suits even still exist? 🛋️

TRAPLORD just won Best New Dance Production Olivier Awards! Well done everyone!

Next show! We're making What is the City AGAIN, this time in Sydney, right outside the Opera House. If you're in Sydney, come! It's free, but you need to book a space in advance. sydneyoperahouse.com/birthday-festi…
