Continuing rehearsals of the Barrow version of Sinfonia a collaboration with @BarrowFull and @theforumbarrow. We are working on an intimate version in a newly created pop-up theatre because the main house has some technical problems. I think this version will be so beautiful

Under the radar, Tory MPs & landowning lobbyists are trying to undermine nature protections in England.
Yesterday, Tory MP Derek Thomas tabled a Bill in Parliament to strip Natural England of its power to create nature reserves (SSSIs) & instead give that power to Ministers. 1/

You can trace a line from how the chair's used to the damaging ableist language in many reviews 'wheelchair bound' 'cripple' 'demented Dalek'. It also fails creatively for anyone who uses or knows an actual chair user because wheelchairs are freedom: tinyurl.com/bp63m3cx 2/2
