Amazing to be involved with the development of 'School of the Underkraft' Mark Essen's socially engaged #BritishArtShow9 artwork. It's a great opportunity for young people to explore contemporary art in a 'real life' contemporary artwork! @ArtsConnectWM @wlv_soa

We love this. We've been twisting theatre out of shape for almost 30 years - installations of piles of rice, one-on-one, DIY theatre... Lots of possibilities in this new world - something to look forward to!
Exeunt Magazine@theatremagazine14 May 2020
What could socially distanced theatre look like? Alice Saville suggests some possibilities that don't involve celebrity monologues/half-empty auditoriums, inspired by the experimental theatremakers who’ve made space for new forms exeuntmagazine.com/features/…
