Could you turn up to work an hour late? Could you only watch the first half of a movie? What if the world cup finished at half time? How about rehearsing a play/musical in half the normal time? Help us save this from happening and sign our petition! -> goo.gl/E7sURY

Replying to @HealthWiseLeeds
@HealthWiseLeeds @InkwellArts @forwardleeds @CWXisCommunity @LeedsCC_News thank you leeds council, your crisis plans are excellent. Now it’s time for all leeds arts communities to start using the Carriageworks to help it thrive
The Arts are a waste of time: all they tell us are things like how to understand yourself, your place in the world, how materials work, how society works, how to co-operate to get things done, resilience, optimism, powers of reflection, interpretation, holding your nerve. teapawt.net/BBCBreakfast/status/95…
Subjects like art, music and drama are being cut back in secondary schools in England. A BBC survey shows teachers say there's been a squeeze on creative classes

Both Leeds Children’s Theatre & St Mary’s Youth Theatre have been refused our annual November main stage booking at Carriageworks Theatre. We’ve been performing a play for the children of Leeds every November since 1948 (Civic Theatre then the CWX since it opened in 2005).

“We have [...] emphasised that some additional flexibility would help keep the Carriageworks Theatre sustainable for years to come." - Sadly when the flexibility is one-sided, we are forced to start petitions - we are nearly at 10,000 signatures! yorkshireeveningpost.co.uk/n…

Big Shock for Leeds Community Arts Network as Leeds City Council Drastically Reduces Access to Carriageworks bit.ly/2mUrbi6 bit.ly/2DOUBFq @CWXisCommunity

How can we move Leeds forward when community arts societies are being priced out of venues like the Carriageworks? If we're going to be a city of culture, surely we should have some left in the city? @CWXisCommunity change.org/p/leeds-city-coun…
