Diversity Leadership:
At Spotlight, we believe that people of all ages, ethnicity, races, gender, sexual orientation, abilities and socioeconomic statuses should be able to work successfully in our industry, and no one should be disadvantaged in any way because of any of these characteristics. We also know that this isn’t always the case, and that we have a responsibility to acknowledge and try to change systemic inequalities in our industry.
Here’s what we will do to help: We launched www.ProFilePerformers.com, in partnership with the National Theatre, to give a greater platform to disabled performers. We work.with BFI Flare festival, ERA 50:50, Actors Awareness, Open Door, PiPA and the Diverse Squad.
