"If I don't show that I'm outwardly happy all the time, I'm not seen as a good contractor or employee." How can we help our #FringeTO artists?! Chime in at #UrgentExchange @GeneratorTO!

How do you balance the multiple contracts you need to afford to live- especially when you live in a large (expensive 💰) city?? Let us know #UrgentExchange @GeneratorTO Toronto Fringe #PSpatio

Difference between working long and working hard -- what do those different kinds of recoveries look like? #FringeTO #UrgentExchange @GeneratorTO

You can love what you do but simultaneously be so mentally exhausted that you hate coming to work because of burnout #relatable #UrgentExchange @GeneratorTO

The “pay your dues” mentality can be super damaging- some artists will say yes to everything without reflecting, recovering, and reaching out for support if needed #UrgentExchange #FringeTO @GeneratorTO Toronto Fringe #PSpatio

Very impactful point as a #UrgentExchange participant points out how addiction can occur as we self-medicate...as we sit next to the PS Bar @GeneratorTO Toronto Fringe #PSpatio #FringeTO

Pro-Tip from Cara Spooner: make space for your artists to check in at the beginning and the end of every rehearsal #UrgentExchange #mentalhealth #FringeTO @GeneratorTO Toronto Fringe

How can we develop accountability for ourselves and our health when we are constantly, as artists, asked to perform at the limits of our minds and bodies? #FringeTO #UrgentExchange @GeneratorTO Toronto Fringe

What do "safe spaces" in rehearsal rooms look like??? How can we "check in" in the rehearsal room to make sure our actors are O.K.? How can we make actors feel comfortable disclosing their states to us as directors? #UrgentExchange @GeneratorTO #FringeTO

Such a great idea, peer support groups are where it’s at, artists!! x.com/generatorto/st…

When differentiating between an accommodation that is needed for a performer to perform and stylistic choices, how do able bodied people feel about making that distinction in the context of criticism? #UrgentExchange

Had a great time taking over the TENT account today for some very eye opening discussions! Cheers from Marium R. xoxo
