As you probably would expect, to confirm that we have cancelled Summit next week. It's obviously massively disappointing, but vital to remain safe & avoid unnecessary risks. Hopefully we'll be back in May, & that we can reschedule these amazing acts in due course. Keep safe.

CALL FOR ACTORS For the next Summit event on Thursday we have been asked to test out a short spoken work experiment, for which we would need 2/3 performers. If anyone's available & fancies giving it a go please do get in touch; I'd look to cover expenses and a drink! cheers, m
