In GBA 344 we get even better acquainted with Rita. She talks about how her life has changed since we last recorded a conversation, how trying to work as a freelancer in the arts can affect your mental health, the relationship between trying to make things for yourself and trying to make money to pay rent and bills, her different experiences of day-jobs and so much more. Recorded just before I moved to Lancaster - partly due to the difficulty of trying to be a freelance artist in London - there is a lot of cross over between our experiences and concerns as we reflect on how stress can mean that a day job can be a better way of being able to make the work you want to make (and may be better for your mental health), trying to establish your work when you are a jack of all trades and a master of some, how many great creators don't have the admin and hustling chops needed to get their work out to people and the roles of luck, privilege, power, work ethic in trying to "make it".

"I love those nights when it's something we've programmed that is so bonkers and far out, and i just don't feel like there's many other places in London where this could happen. I think that's exactly what we exist to do." Amber Massie-Blomfield, executive director of Camden People's Theatre. Rebecca Atkinson-Lord talks to the duo who run Camden People's Theatre in north London: Brian Logan, artistic director, and Amber Massie-Blomfield, executive director. They chat about what it's like to run a building together, how the radical fringe theatre is bringing discussions about gender and diversity to the fore through theatre, and how to dismantle the patriarchy in three weeks.
