Who else remembers when James Acaster made the greatest ever Brexit analogy?

So many careers & creative journeys began/were supported by #theactorscentre . It is a devastating loss. The current climate is particularly hard & to remove such a vital & unique resource has seriously impoverished provision for actors/creatives. #timetoact

Great to be back at Metropolitan Opera for The Hours I want to give a shoutout to this amazing group of actors who really make this show come to life. 4 The care, love and commitment they give 2 the invisible world that holds this show together. with oh such beauty and atmosphere ❤️

Funny old world

I think we may need a DandD Devoted & Disgruntled Improbable ?

This is likely to have some very far reaching consequences for everyone in the subsidised sector. Arts Council England, London I'm wondering how we can all get involved, so that the discussion doesn't just involve the usual suspects?

Today, some of the team are in Tartu running a series of impro-based workshops as part of the European Capital of Culture Tartu 2024!

1000s of us care. 1000s of us want the #ActorsCentre back. 1000s of us have signed chng.it/X6r6DSZWVj 1000s of us have asked Seven Dials Playhouse to do the right thing. Come and join actoratthecentre Equity London South Branch Equity London North Branch April 22nd 7pm Old Diorama Arts Centre #timetoact #actors

Poor. See me.

There’s huge support for restoring what the #ActorsCentre provided. It’s been painful & exasperating to watch Seven Dials Playhouse CEO/Trustees refuse to listen & engage with 1000s actors/creatives. In a time of Arts cuts & erosion of provision we need to stand together. It matters.

Some of the brilliant people asking Seven Dials Playhouse to urgently restore affordable/accessible training/community back in Tower St. Please join actoratthecentre Equity London South Branch Paul W Fleming Equity London North Branch April 22nd 7pm
Old Diorama Arts Centre. We stand united. This matters.

Happy #TotalSolarEclipse Day

This is very exciting

Creative Industries make up 6% of our economy: more than car and oil industries together. They employ 2.3million people. To cut funding is fudge-brained, cack-hearted thinking pitched very much at the highest level of economic self-harm. theguardian.com/education/2024…

Appalling

Ministers will cut funding for performing and creative arts courses at English universities next year, which will further damage the country’s cultural industries. More bad news for the arts… theguardian.com/education/2024…

We are appalled that the Government is once again singling out arts & creative subjects for funding cuts in Higher Education.

Many courses have already closed and a growing number are at risk.

This attack on the arts must stop now.

The only thing one can add to this mind-boggling stupid, self-destructive and philistine policy is this rotten bunch will be out by the end of the year and with any luck it will never come to pass. That said shame on you Gillian Keegan MP
