HOW I LEARNED TO SWIM by Somebody Jones Jamie is taking on her biggest fear, the ocean. With the help of a chipper swim instructor, a shady spiritual guide and one cathartic crab sandwich, she’s questioning, ‘how many lengths will wash away regret?’

I’ve helped two people get their Global Talent visa (the same one I’m on) and I’m only on mine thanks to two people who were also on it and helped me. So I’m always happy to continue passing on the knowledge

yoo theatre people, check in on your immigrant friends & collaborators, especially the early-career ones. they might need your reference for their visa applications. like right now. before they can't afford to even *apply* to stay in the UK.

@ameena_hamid Playwright here 🙋🏽‍♀️ I write mostly horror/magical realism (with a little verbatim on the side). Currently have a piece going up at JST about a Black woman who learns how to swim

Kinda getting the feeling like I’m being watched while editing this play (Please ignore Chewy’s ear drops on my table 😆 Somehow this indoor cat got herself an ear infection)

Cannot recommend this enough. Especially as we lost Vaults this year, this is such a great way to make phenomenal work and get paid to do it. I wouldn’t have made it on the shortlist for the Alfred Fagon Award or Women’s Prize without this program.
