'Lucy Kerbel's work has become increasingly pivotal in helping the
entire industry raise its game... this illuminating book answers
the cynic, informs the impartial, converts the supporter into an
activist and equips them all; not in a rallying cry of
anger-fuelled idealism, but in a calm, pragmatic and clear-eyed
way.' Rufus Norris, Director of the National Theatre, from his
Foreword Theatre needs to change. Everywhere - in its boardrooms,
on its stages, throughout its repertoires - it could be so much
more successful at reflecting the gender balance of the world it
seeks to represent. This is a book about why change matters, its
benefits - artistic, commercial, ethical and social - and how, with
everyone's help, we can actually achieve it. From small shifts,
such as how you run your meetings, or what's on the shelves of your
school library, to rethinking concepts as huge as the art we
inherit, how we attribute excellence, and the constraints we
unwittingly pass on to the next generation, there are things we can
all do to bring about change. In this book, you'll find
provocations to help you consider your current practices and their
effects, challenge unconscious biases and identify opportunities
for change, plus strategies and tools to help you decide where best
to focus your efforts, to convince others why change matters, and
to achieve meaningful, lasting success. Eye-opening, empowering and
inspiring, All Change Please is a book for anyone who loves
theatre. Whether you make it, teach it, watch it or study it,
everyone has their own unique part to play in helping refresh,
reshape and re-imagine the industry as truly diverse, equal and
inclusive. 'We are the industry. If things will shift it is down to
us, all of us, to make that happen. We all need to reflect on how
we work, how we think, and how we make choices. That's what will
drive the greatest change.' Since 2011, Lucy Kerbel and her
organisation Tonic Theatre have been working with companies and
individuals across the theatre industry to support them in
achieving greater gender equality in their work and workforces. Her
first book, 100 Great Plays for Women, is also published by Nick
Hern Books.
