Access and Inclusion

If you’ve ever taught theatre in an international school, you know the feeling: the studio tucked in a basement or a repurposed lunch hall, disconnected from the buzz of the school, happening somewhere else. The same can be true of finding a professional community: some of us have had thriving departments, while in other cases, many are the sole voice of their subject discipline in their entire school.
