🎭 "Being taught drama can transform your life." 🎭 This theme was highlighted by both Keir Starmer and Lisa Nandy at this year's Labour Party (UK) Conference, in which they both highlighted the critical importance of arts in education. The National Curriculum requires every state funded school to promote children's cultural development, preparing them for the experiences of later life. However, whilst the private school sector is able to invest in cultural education, the state sector has suffered a significant reduction in provision, due in part to the marginalisation of arts subjects in schools over the past twenty years. Children from low income are missing out the most because they are less likely to have cultural experiences outside of school. Furthermore, the ongoing cost-of-living crisis has led to a reduction in school trips, including theatre visits. Society of London Theatre & UK Theatre believe that every child has the right to go to the theatre, to experience the joy and opportunity that it can bring.

When we discuss equity in education, we must also discuss accessibility and inclusion. It’s not just that schools should offer arts courses for their many benefits; it’s that ALL STUDENTS should have ways to engage in their school’s arts programs. Because ALL students deserve those benefits. If you know a school that needs some support, encourage them to contact us. If you know a school that’s already modeling inclusive, equitable practices, submit them for our ArtsEd Spotlight! #accessiblearts #equitableeducation #artseducation #specialeducation #washingtonschools #deia #equityinaction

Thinking about majoring in theatre? Theatre alumnus Kevin Hanley (BA '17) reflects on his experience: "I came to the Theatre Department to study acting. Encouraged to explore every facet of theatre, I acted, directed, wrote, designed, and stage-managed. I was able to find my place in the professional theatre by exploring each discipline. This wide range of knowledge paired with mentorship I received (and still receive) from professors gave me the ability to confidently start my career as a professional stage manager."

I have been screaming this from rooftops for the past decade. Specially in B2B marketing. 95% of brands are still afraid to explore beyond their old standard, but let me tell you something, your buyer is a human, that will see on a daily basis over 20-50 ads through his socials, newsfeeds and sites. Most of those ads will say nothing to the buyer. Your 50% off ad? He has seen 10 of those before arriving at yours. Another demo video? Oh, your competitors already did one before he even got to yours. Does he remember it? Heck no. It all goes into the void. He won't even register the ad. You know what he will register? Humor. Heart. Emotions. Humaniyu. Something that will make him laugh, cry. Something that will make him relate. Relate is the keyword. And most important: remember. You might be wary of what I am saying. But I have been doing exactly that for a lot of companies throughout the years and brands. And the impact has always been succesful. A great example in the Print Industry is Enfocus. Some might be sceptical, others might find it weird. But the result is there. I have heard from several customers more about Print Hard than about the latest update of PitStop. I have heard about characters we created in campaigns more often than any promo we ever did. Why does it work? Because everyone wants to belong. To be part of something awesome. And that is what I am continously fighting for. Making your brand awesome. But beware, the most difficult thing is to remain genuine. You can add a piano and a soft voice to create emotions but if it doesn't come from rhe right place, it will just go into the void.
