“If we are going to continue to show art that is risky, or starts a conversation, we have to invest the time and energy to make sure that work can happen”, says @HOME_mcr’s Karen O’Neill at #FutureOfTheatre
Radical redistribution and a national repertory hub network - fabulous idea @robmyles #FutureofTheatre
Next up to present their bold ideas for the sector at #FutureOfTheatre, is Catherine Russell on live translation technology in theatre, and Rob Myles on radical redistribution of theatre in the UK 💡
Managed to catch the amazing @WatermillTh production of Piaf - and what an absolutely treat it was. Audrey Brisson is captivating as Edith, and the actor-musician cast and effective staging made for a powerful production. Standing ovation well deserved! Runs until 17 May 🎭
Caught up with this @WatermillTh: Audrey Brisson rolls her rs and sings her heart out to perfection as Piaf in Kimberley Sykes' accomplished revival of Pam Gems' often clunky but classic-stuffed resumé of the life of the 'little sparrow'. Runs to May 17. watermill.org.uk/events/piaf

"There needs to be a time to pause, reflect and plan to rebuild a better system", says Natasha Kathi-Chandra #FutureOfTheatre
Straight way big question about underpinning the cost and risk of new work, to be able to support new/emerging/embryonic theatre makers, has been raised. What role can Theatres play in supporting those costs and risks? #FutureOfTheatre
.@CRIPticArts's @JamieRHale is chairing our first panel of the day: How does the craft of theatre-making survive?
#FutureOfTheatre
100% agree, and finding a way to reduce the fire fighting is key - as it often drains time to focus on planning and stewarding relationships. #FutureOfTheatre
At #FutureOfTheatre, @TrafalgarEnt's Rosemary Squire offers these suggestions for survival in theatre:
💡Be prepared
💡Look at alternative scenarios
💡Don’t give up too soon
💡Tend to your networks
What would you include in your toolkit for survival?
