Do you love theatre?
Do you find it frustrating?
Do you wish it were different?
Do you feel like an outsider in your own profession?
Have you just started out and need support?
Are you looking for a theatrical community outside London?
Is your sector always left out of the discussions?

Are you looking to change things?
DEVOTED AND DISGRUNTLED NORTH EAST:
What are we going to do about theatre?
Dear Friend
Four years ago I sent Improbable’s first invitation to Devoted and Disgruntled, an event that grew out of my passions and frustrations with theatre, about how I love theatre but still felt frustrated with how it happened sometimes.
Out of that first event an amazing number of initiatives have quietly and forcefully blossomed. Some of them are obvious, others, equally important, are more subtle and tangential. Just as important as all the initiatives and projects to have come out of D&D is the way in which, over the last 4 years, we have been slowly building a genuine sense of community.
One of the issues that has been raised at successive D&Ds is that there is a real need for this kind of event outside London so I’m particularly delighted that, as a direct result of discussions at D&D, The Empty Space have invited us to bring Devoted and Disgruntled to the North East, providing an opportunity for the theatre and performing community here to gather in Open Space and work on what could be improved; the things about which you are passionate and the things you wish were different.
So if there are things you are passionate about or things you are pissed off about, projects or proposals you need support on, or if you just want to connect with your peers, all are possible because in Open Space you set the agenda.
On past experience of D&D, the more diverse our group, the more creative and exciting the work has been. Anyone that is passionate about theatre and prepared to take responsibility for making it the best it can be is invited.
If you feel like this event might not be for you then that is a sure sign we need your input! If you feel that the issues that affect you or your sector never get discussed so what’s the point of turning up? This is the event for you!
Please join us on this journey.
