I kind of missed the deadline I set for writing this post. By nearly a week.
My situation is still the same. I’ve spent a few days this week looking for a placement; I’ve looked at the theatres in Glasgow which may have something on – and even the ones that haven’t – I’ve looked at individual artists that are associated with these theatres and with the course, and I’ve also emailed a couple of places again just in case. I still haven’t heard anything.
