JOBS Some opportunities at MTV, Chessington Park and Chelsea Players have been uploaded. Chelsea Players auditions are today so hurry. VOTE FOR ANTI-WAR Artistic Director of Spartaki, Karen Douglas, is a tireless advocate for social change through theatre. I've performed in a number of plays with her including A Letter From Death Row at the Scottish Parliament. The performance was just one of the supporting events that lead up to the release this week of Scot Kenny Richey. Spartaki are also involved in Stop The War campaigns and are looking for your support by voting for them in the Channel 4 Politics Awards. ARTS COUNCIL ENGLAND If you are an Equity member you would've heard about the event at the Young Vic this week to protest about the Arts Council England procedures for funding. Genesis Masks are holding a further protest this week in London and are looking for around 500 people to wear white masks, which will be provided, and silently protest at Piccadilly Circus at 1pm on Tuesday 15th January. Contact genesismasks@gmail.com for more information.
