The top left is the poster for REWIND, the top right is the poster for It’s A Motherf**king Pleasure, bottom left is the poster for High Steaks, bottom right is the poster for The Long Run. The full description of each of these images is attached to the following post.
ALT My name is 张鹤/John, a Chinese first generation migrant artist who started making theatre in the UK just last year. After starting our company Ensemble Not Found with a few friends, making our debut at VAULT festival with an one week run and finally feeling like having a bit of idea what’s going on here while very much still figuring things out, I want to start a conversation. A conversation that would have been helpful to the 张鹤 from a year ago, to people who’ve just come to the UK, who barely knows anyone yet, who are here on a limited visa, on borrowed time, who don’t even speak English very well but still want to make theatre right now. I want to start a conversation that can help them, the new migrants in the UK. And this conversation will start as sort of a panel discussion on the afternoon of 27th at Applecart Arts. We’re getting a small group of young first generation artists for a chat, the people who know first hand the struggles.
ALT But before this conversation happens, I want to know what are some of your most urgent questions that need answered. I want this conversation to be about you and your concerns. If you identify as a migrant theatre maker who’ve not been in the UK for long, send us your questions by filling up this form. If not, please share this to people who might find this helpful and we’ll try to answer them as much as we can on the 27th. If you can’t be here on the 27th or if there are things we ourselves don’t know yet, we’re putting all the questions into a shared document for everyone and hopefully mark the start of an ongoing pack for all future migrant artists. A few months ago, I’ve written something like this out of desperation. Because we were struggling with tickets sales. It helped, twitter helped, UK theatre helped. The people here helped. This time I’m writing again because I think instead of asking for help, I can use this to give out and I want to invite you guys to join me on this.
