IT’S TaPRA WEEK BABYYYY!!! 🥳 🎉 Who’s coming to Newcastle? I’m excited to see old friends and to meet new ones 😊✨ #TaPRA2024 #TaPRA24

If you’re at TaPRA this week and don’t know many people, please come & say hi. I’m always keen to meet new Performance Studies ppl & can also introduce you around! #TaPRA2024 #TaPRA24 This is how I look today (tired):

big “I sleep in a racing car” vibes

And that’s a wrap!!! Another fantastic year at TaPRA over – thanks to everyone who made our Audience, Experience & Popular Practices WG such a warm & welcoming space ♥️✨ #TaPRA2024 #TaPRA24

Cracking few days at #Tapra24 Newcastle where I had the absolute pleasure of panelling with Hannah Thuraisingam Robbins (they/them) Tirna Sengupta Wenyan Pu, Lucy Ruddiman & Kate Holmes & mega-learning from all chats & papers. Big thanks to convenors Kate & Kirsty Sedgman & TaPRA team 🔥❤️☀️🥳🤩

Honoured to be part of the incredible 'Audience, Experience & Popular Practices' working group and thrilled to have presented at my first-ever conference, hosted by the wonderful Kirsty Sedgman and Kate Holmes at TaPRA! 😊
