So I am chatting with some show makers about getting reviewers in to see your shows. Reviews feel like gold dust as a solo performer and I'm wondering if anyone in my network writes reviews and would share how they decided what they are going to shout about? Killer Press Release? Sexy Poster? TIA x

Great post by @benmacpherson1.bsky.social highlighting why (and where) you should see poetry at #EdFringe! It may be the smallest section of the programme, but it's the mightiest! bmacpherson.substack.com/p/join-the-1...

Join the 1%, this Edinburgh Fringe.

Amidst the behemoth programme of the Edinburgh Fringe, you can find just about every performance artform on show.

Cos the news doesn’t cover it: 5% cut to Department of Culture, Media and Sport. Disappointing.

Hey folks I'm wondering if people can point me to any burlesque/Boylesque/Bearlesque facilitators who might be up for a conversation? It's for a theatre project I'm working on about plus size male bodies in queer spaces. Ideally folks with lived experience of being plus sized/LGBTQ+

@rickdove.bsky.social could I join your poets off the page group? I’m a performance poet from Notts and one of the directors of Nottingham Poetry Festival - hope it’s okay to ask!

I love to work with theatre makers like Leanne - working on her project was an absolute joy and it seems I was useful too! If you’re looking for someone to work with as a dramaturge I’m always available for a chat! You can find contact info on my website or DM me too! #theatre

A quote from Leanne Moden about working with Ben Macpherson “His curious and reassuring approach gave me the space to interrogate the writing and make the changes that have really helped elevate the story, and he was kind and patient at every turn.”
