I’ve mostly been putting post it notes on my wall pretending as though I know what story structure is... share your creative tips with @hack_theatre as part of #unmute
One of the most exciting things about our new and accessible series #UNMUTE is that each artist we interviewed shares their own top tips for how they've kept creative during this unprecedented time.
