Today’s agenda includes report writing, project planning and a filming session with the tour team of The Story of Us. #artisticdirector #workingclass

This morning we have a rare whole staff meeting & this afternoon I’ll be supporting PEP work experience learners to develop their marketing skills. #workingclass #artisticdirector

Today will be another varied day editing videos, writing reports & reaching out to community partners. Small orgs are challenging but joyous when your brain thrives on variety. Most of what I do is self-taught & I love learning new things. #artisticdirector #workingclass

Yesterday turned out to be a very long but productive day as the pieces of a new project are starting to fall into place! Today I’ll be in my happy place back in the rehearsal room with brilliant @peerproductions actors. #workingclass #artisticdirector

Really excited to be seeing Phosphoros Theatre 🧡’s play Tender today at Rich Mix with Helen Lippell, Simon Koppel & Comic Pseudonym.

Can’t wait to see this today!

Yesterday, I met with my oldest friend Katy to co-author a teachers’ pack for The Forest In Between. She has 20 years + experience as a primary school teacher & is a child wellbeing & mental health expert. Wonderful to collaborate with old friends. #workingclass #artisticdirector

This is why I’ve been tweeting about my daily working life as one of very few working class Artistic Directors. The narrower the demographic of people who can become artists becomes the less rich and vibrant the art will be. #workingclass #artisticdirector

Today I’m finalising teachers’ packs for touring plays, in the rehearsal room and in meetings with colleagues to manage current projects and develop new ones. #artisticdirector #workingclass

Today prioritising will be a challenge. With a job that constantly adds to my to-do list, I've made peace with never reaching the bottom. Balancing strategy, planning, research, & project work will be tough for my ADHD brain, but we move! #workingclass #artisticdirector

This report from Cultural Learning Alliance detailing the decline in arts education in UK schools makes for stark reading. This needs to change or we risk an industry even more dominated by just one group of people & our art will be so much poorer for it. #workingclass #artisticdirector

Not working today as it’s my daughter’s birthday. Yesterday I worked on The Story of Us Teacher’s Pack and planning for next year’s training programmes. #workingclass #artisticdirector

It’s been a chaotic day with the internet Gods insistent on slowing me down. But I spent a magical afternoon watching a run of my latest play for @peerproductions directed by the brilliant Ruth Sparkes. Stunning work from the whole team. #workingclass #artisticdirector

21 years later and my ill advised ‘first marriage’ is still going strong!

Undoubtedly a highlight of my career so far. I could not be more proud of this brilliant team!

In light of recent violent and racist events, I have made the decision to withdraw immediately from the Twitter/X platform whose role in the promotion and spread of misinformation has contributed to the right-wing riots across the country.
