Dear Brum folk, it'd be lovely if you could come along next Tuesday evening to The Exchange to mark #WorldRefugeeDay. It's shaping up to be quite a special event, it's totally free, you can come and go as you please, and you'll get to explore usually unseen parts of the building.
14 Jun 2023
Next Tuesday 20 June, 6-9pm, our students will be contributing live art works for a FREE event marking #WorldRefugeeDay at The Exchange on Centenary Square.
Come along for a thought provoking programme, and to discover usually unseen parts of the building.

This is so sad and vile from the Tories. Totally politically motivated. Distributing funding for the regions shouldnt mean cuts! It should mean more money outside of London, damn it!
4 Nov 2022
ACE funding cuts are devastating for London: Gate, Hampstead and Donmar Warehouse theatres cut entirely. Its orchestras are all losing cash, Royal Opera loses £3m annually, National Theatre £1m, South Bank nearly £2m, Camden Arts Centre, ICA ... a dark day for arts in the capital

⚠️📢 chuffed to announce I've been invited to show #YESNOBLACKWHITE @DramaWorcs @WorcesterUni. Though I first created this piece in 2019 for @CamdenPT, my guess is it's still timely & somewhat explosive.
