Where do dancers get their trousers???

Every time I watch dance theatre I’m amazed that they can do all tht without ripping their trousers. When I was doing The Herds in Manchester I did one mild squat and burst the arse out of the trousers I was wearing.

Clearly I’m out of the loop.

Here's a little thread putting together some of the useful #UKTheatre starter packs people have created.

(There'll be a decent bit of crossover between lists/feeds, but trying to be thorough!)

Starting with @beccydsouza.bsky.social's brilliant general UK Theatre People feed:

If taking six years to get into drama school taught me anything, it was how to catch the word “unfortunately” in application responses in my peripheral vision.

Turns out it’s like riding a bike, you never forget 😅

Some Bluesky positivity. After a relentless couple of years for rejections and dead-ends, I've some recent cause for hope. At the darkest moments, I'd begun some stubbornly positive writing about being a creative artist under modern pressures... here's a first salvo:

Actors Gym starts next month and, X by far, the hardest part of the process has been finding a suitable venue at a reasonable price.

Sure, there are loads of amazing venues in Manchester that offer space for free, but the vast majority just weren't suitable, and that's fine!
