#19 - Sliding around in the backseat: toxic culture in theatre schools

In this episode, Tom and Kate talk about personal branding and tackle Kate’s personal issues with it head on: does personal branding make you egotistical?

Kate also puts together content marketing in her head for the first time.

Then we talk about something very serious: toxic theatre cultures that put actors at risk. We look at the issue primarily from the perspective of theatre schools and training programs while acknowledging it’s an attitude that pervades how we treat actors in many situations. If you feel like you have to do something you’re not comfortable with while being concerned about your job or your future in the industry, something’s wrong. And it’s not you.
