Carers as Artists

Exeunt Magazine: I would like to talk about carers as artists, or artists who are carers. I’m not sure which one comes first.

Every Thursday for ten weeks, millions “clapped for carers” in the NHS. I’ve joined many industry Zooms about how theatre must emerge from this crisis more inclusive, but mention of its own carers has felt conspicuously absent. I may have missed something, but it doesn’t seem like decision-makers are thinking about the 6.5 million people who are conduits to inclusion.
