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.

Absolutely. Museums and theatres become 'middle class spaces' only if working class people can't attend them.
Restricting school trips just reinforces the idea that art and knowledge exist only for the elites.

"Don't take the proles to the Tate, they won't understand it."

Utterly patronising.

Shouts and Murmurs - November 19, 2024 I, too, will no longer be posting on the platform formerly known as Twitter. Plus: some more stuff about theatre.

Here's a bit about the theatre industry leaving Twitter/X for BlueSky/Substack, and the potential for an online discourse about theatre to re-emerge... plus a load of links to other stuff about theatre.

All in today's Shouts and Murmurs. Read/subscribe: thecrushbar.substack.com/p/shouts-and...

My first post on blue-lsky...just finished a production with 29 10-25 year olds, Guinea Pig. A joyous, thoughtful, moving and affirming project. The piece posed the question "should mobile phones be banned for young people under 16" Lots of discussion from audience and performers alike!
