Across the creative industries we need to look at routes in because so many are told they "don't have enough experience" because they couldn't afford to do it the one favoured way that the London-based rich kids could...

Actors! Who are your favourite workshop/class providers?
Who are safe, supportive, and have a focus on the CRAFT and continued training of professional actors, not just casting director or agent meets/q&a’s.
Looking for some places I can feel confident in recommending to others!
Am at @tbtl to see my pal & fellow maker Joanna Holden in Brassed Off! Half an hour til showtime - very excited, although a bit shy taking a selfie in the caff! #theatre #supportyourpals #lakedistrict
Pollen, picked off of the hive floor by me to feed back to the #bees if stores get low. Each nugget represents many trips to&from the hive. The colours tell you where they’ve been foraging. The amber is likely from blackthorn, the gold willow & apple, the yellow honeysuckle…🧡

All this and no guarantee of complex life . Slow down , stop and look at a flower , a bee or a butterfly today , listen to a bird singing and just take a moment to know how extraordinarily lucky we are .
This was an epic, joyful task. Welcome to Thebes. How to: create a collaborative environment for 20 actors & sustain it over 4 weeks; play a pros. arch theatre in a site-specific way; honour a play while turning it upside down/inside out? #director #facilitator #proud We did it!

I’ve taken all three of my Shakespeares to @TheatreRoyalBSE & it’s been a brilliant place to play, with a great team. Get in touch with them if you have a good quality touring Shakey for young people. It’s a lovey place to play!
I’m looking for a touring Shakespeare production suitable for a schools audience this September. Any companies out there who’d like to bring their production to @TheatreRoyalBSE?

It’s trying to get this across to people who have always had a safety net - family money, property, land, contacts, jobs etc, been to the right school. Sometimes people just DON’T

Question for film folks. Given the current climate, and as a producer who doesn’t come from wealth, would it be helpful to literally anyone if I broke down all the different means of earning £££ I’ve done alongside producing over the years to make it sustainable?
This programme was formative for me. How many TV shows can you say that about - would you *want* to say that about? @FloellaBenjamin means a lot to both me and my sister, still.
Happy to be one of your Playschool Babies, Floella. Thank you for beaming out all that love. ✨
Happy 60th Birthday #Playschool the ultimate classic pre-school programme. This show means everything to me. Being one of the presenters was simply the best time of my life as I was able to spread unconditional love, joy and happiness to all my Playschool Babies from the heart❤️
