IMPORTANT FEEDBACK/REVIEW CALLOUT:

If you have the time, please would those of you who have attended ANY of my events be so kind as to take a few moments to leave me a review, as I will be quoting from them as part of my Arts Council application which is imminently due for submission.

If you could consider aspects such as community, grassroots, inclusivity, safe spaces, diversity, supportive and encouraging environment, peer mentoring, partnerships, shared experiences and skills, experimental space, etc etc etc., that would be really helpful.

If you’ve performed on multiple occasions, then please (if relevant), give mention to the development of your craft within the space/event or if and how important it’s been in the progression of your practice.

You can click the REVIEW tab here (https://www.facebook.com/ShyTalkLegacy/reviews) OR you may DM me privately.
I’m also happy to anonymise any words you put forward, if you prefer.

Thank you x
