We were invited to @battersea_arts for a conversation around working-class representation in theatre. Hearing from other working-class creatives reaffirmed the changes needed within the industry. It’s fuelled us even more to get Census touring! #workingclass #workingclasstheatre

BEYOND thrilled to be part of Inside Out: This Is Manchester as part of @factoryintl The Welcome. We were nominated by the brilliant @ShadaAziz4 to have our portraits taken in August. “Everyone photographed is someone who radiates love for Manchester”, we certainly do! ⭐️

💛 HARPURHEY SUPPORT SPACE 💛 We are sending love to all young people impacted. Please share with those who may need it 🫶
Plain Text: Monday 18th - Friday 22nd September, 330-630pm Harpurhey Neighbourhood Project (M9 5UX) Following the loss of Nathaniel Shani on Friday evening, our combined organisations are holding support space for young people in the area who we know will be experiencing pain and grief. Harpurhey Neighbourhood Project will be open on the times listed above for young people impacted. Together, we will work to hold all emotions felt, without judgement. Whether you want to talk, sit, be still, cry, vent: our staff and supporters will be with you. We know this is complex, as some young people know both Nathaniel and the individuals under investigation, and we will be sensitive to that. Hot food and drinks will be provided, and transport costs supported.

V. lucky to see Census by @MalandraJacks @ContactMcr last night. This review says it all. So great hearing the voices of Moston residents and hearing about all the great work going on. This work needs supporting now more than ever @AndyBurnhamGM

Enthusiastically incorporating voices of local residents, (& wonderfully framed by David Hall's projections), @MalandraJacks' CENSUS at @ContactMcr imaginatively documents & celebrates the community of Moston. Warm-hearted & thought-provoking, it feels like a true labour of love.
