IdeasTap - gone Old Vic New Voices/24 hr Plays - gone OV12 - gone VAULT - gone EdFringe - priced out ACE - tiny success rate so what now
It is with immense sadness that we announce the closure of VAULT Festival and the cancellation of plans for our new London home, after failing to secure the funding required to continue. 🧵 1/8

Bristol City Council's culture budget is already 40% smaller than in 2018. Now some of the city's most cherished organisations are set to lose their council funding entirely, including @BristolOldVic and @wshed. @MinnieStephC4 reports for @Channel4News.

Oh no Kenneth you've got me started! Every case is different, & let's be clear these jobs are generally well paid & a huge privilege, but fwiw here's my take on the post-covid challenges that are making the roles feel more difficult than ever (all of which relate to resources)🧵
Replying to @TarekIskander1
The last two years have seen a huge churn of artistic directors (some after relatively short tenures), including those companies/venues listed below. It really does beg the question - what’s going on? Are Boards sufficiently skilled and attuned to navigate these tough times?

Hugely sad, Emily was an inspiration and such a kind and generous guide. A huge loss.

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-…
