The most useful function of a theatre outreach or participation department is not, as people often think, to change people outside 'in the community'. It's to change the organisation itself.

For #TransDayOfRemembrance I want to share this extract from the dedication page of Stone Butch Blues by Leslie Feinberg

Today is Transgender Day of Remembrance. It exists to remind us of those those in our community we have lost to violence, which trans people are four times more likely to experience than cis people. This is our reality: bigotry, harassment, and violence are ever-present, and yet we still find joy.

Was feeling really overstimulated and like I wanted to pull all my hair out.

Realised I just needed to change the theme from light to dark. All better.
