This is heartbreaking. The team at Rose Bruford Wigan are incredible and I love working there every time. The atmosphere in the building is still incredible despite this terrible news. I just wish something could be done.

Freelancers do not get laid off or made redundant, instead they simply cease to get work. #FreelancersMakeTheatreWork

Yep, this! If the directors are on this pitiful amount you can guess the creative fees….

Rebecca Frecknall's interview in @TheStage has prompted me to break out a thread I have sat on for a while. It breaks down what I think is the biggest obstacle in theatre but the least openly discussed... Pay So here is the THEATRE PAY MATHS THREAD 🧵👇 thestage.co.uk/news/rebecca-…
Rebecca Frecknall: Creatives are working too many hours for not enough money

Rebecca Frecknall: Creatives are working too many hours for not enough money

Director Rebecca Frecknall has called for greater recognition of the effort and working hours required by creatives to put on productions, warning they work too many hours for too little pay

I have to fight for more money on every single job just to cover things like my travel costs to get there, or my rent. This year I got a week of paid holiday for the first time ever in my career. The way to make this industry sustainable is not to make more of us freelance.

Lovely review for ‘I believe in unicorns’. Where I’m responsible for ‘setting the stage alight’, better check my liability insurance! 😜@danyahmiller
