The most useful function of a theatre outreach or participation department is not, as people often think, to change people outside 'in the community'. It's to change the organisation itself. (A thread - reposted from LinkedIn)

For #TransDayOfRemembrance I want to share this extract from the dedication page of Stone Butch Blues by Leslie Feinberg ‘We need for our mission to promote racial, social and economic justice for trans youth, with freedom to self-define gender identity and expression’ - CeCe McDonald 🏳️‍⚧️

CeCe McDonald wrote from a prison cell on November 16, 2012:
"Trans Day of Remembrance: A Proposal"
"We need for our mission to promote racial, social, and economic justice for trans youth, with freedom to self-define gender identity and expression.
"[To have rights and a voice. To be able to walk in this world, not afraid and actually feel like a human being and not a shadow in a corner.
"I would have rather been punished for asserting myself than become another victim of hatred.
"We need to not only celebrate for Trans Day of Remembrance, but also become self-aware and ready to put an end to our community being the focus of violence. Of course it is more than important to recognize and pay homage to our fallen, but we also need to put our feet down and start being real leaders and making this stand."

Today is Transgender Day of Remembrance. It exists to remind us of those those in our community we have lost to violence, which trans people are four times more likely to experience than cis people. This is our reality: bigotry, harassment, and violence are ever-present, and yet we still find joy.

Started my new job as Assistant Producer at LAMDA this week. Feeling very proud seeing as producing is something I learned on the job and essentially taught myself after seeing the damage COVID caused. Never actually thought I’d make a career out of it. And yet… Here’s to new beginnings 🌤️
