If you have yet to get familiar with the movement behind the hashtag, please read the brilliant and inspiring article Annemarie Lewis Thomas wrote on her blog.
It is time the industry tackles the topic and speaks freely and with no shame about mental health.
“Colleges (or more specifically, unskilled staff at respected colleges) offering up helpful advice like ‘the industry is tough get used to it’..right through to the classic ‘if you can’t stand the heat, get out of the kitchen’. Brilliant advice for young performers struggling with their own sense of self, and in some instances, even their grasp on reality?”
