@1KateMcGrath @_CFTA I am sure there are brilliant people doing things like this. Or who brilliant ideas. I want in. On something existing or something new. I am happy to lead or follow, to collate names, organise meetings, or just stand outside Whitehall and scream.

First show @edfringe for 2022, and how completely humbled I am that it was the magnificent @KatieArnstein with #StickyDoor . If I could convey through a tweet how important this show is, how joyous and moving and funny it is, I would. But I can’t do it justice so SEE THIS SHOW.

Asif said it better than I could. Enough silence. Enough obfuscating. Enough fear. Enough. I stand in solidarity with these artists, all creatives, all Palestinians currently being detained.

Thank you all for your love and support today! It's a weird thing, self-promotion. Feels lovely and squishy and uncomfortable all at once. Just one more for the road, my new favourite thing - this very tonally strange, pass-agg 'what's on'!

? I know I announced my first season as AD of a building today, but this is my proudest moment. If you are ever lucky enough to have a @KatieArnstein in your life, you’ll know the feeling. I love this woman so much and her work is truly extraordinary.

She started out doing panto tours of northern garden centres. But Arnstein is now emerging as a thrilling performer, turning the shocks of her life – sexual harassment, her mum’s cancer – into...

What the actual fuck. Gifting Indigenous Australian land to rich entertainers (to anyone) is disgusting and insidious. It isn’t yours to gift. Sovereignty was never ceded.
