Sometimes, it's the little things that hold weight. Like just now, the act of me creating an ACE folder on my computer. So, that's the resolution that my DYCP will not be my only funded project. It now sits in that folder as a first. I've set up the intention for more...!

A two-show day. The Ugly Duckling @nottmplayhouse.bsky.social and The Unthanks In Winter tour at the Albert Hall.
Both joyous in their own ways.

Ok folks. This list useful because you can:
1. Be added to it (by me - pop me a message) so people can find you.
2. See who is on the list and individually follow those accounts you'd like to.
3. And this is the BIG ONE. You can 'pin to home' to get a UK theatre people feed on your home page.

Here is a list of UK based or connected (as far as I know) theatre people.
Movers, makers, agitators, shakers.
If you would like to be on it comment below and I'll add you.
I'm putting a bit of work into making it, because bye bye ex-birdy.
