Today. Today was a tough day.

Once again reminded that we can only be as inclusive, as healthy and as kind as the funding systems we operate under allow.

That’s all I got right now.

Simple things the theatre industry could do to to make life easier for workers …

Number one - a standard universal basic application form for jobs so that people applying for multiple roles didn’t have to fill in a new one each time.

It’s like genuinely quite wonderful to have a newsfeed where everything is at least worth a glance…

Yesterday we brought our 3 youth groups together for the first time. LOTS of logistics, but so worth it for the pure joy of dancing together!

Here’s a glimpse of North East Deaf Youth Theatre, East End Story Makers & Cowgate Young Theatre Makers raising the roof at @gosforthcivictheatre.co.uk!

Me:

‘How refreshing to be on a new platform where I can really curate my feed’

Also me:

‘I’ve no idea who you are but you followed me and I’m new here so I’m gonna follow you back’

Hi Bluesky!

Nice to be here.

If we haven’t met, I’m Joe.

I’m all about #theatre in all its guises, especially #immersive, new plays and #musicals.

I love living in #Newcastle

I’m also really into #arts #politics #disability #sport #nufc #cricket #travel #literature #cooking
