Government proposes to cut funding for subjects such as drama by 50 per cent at higher education level

A flortist The Musicians Union has reacted in horror at the revealed plans to cut government funding to certain subjects at a higher education level by 50 per cent, according to a report by the Office for Students (OFS). The OFS (the independent regulator for higher education in England) laid in the plans earlier this year, following proposals confirmed in a letter from State Secretary for Education Gavin Williamson, which shows that the amount of money to be given to performing and creative arts, media studies and archaeology will be cut in half. The letter instead prioritises additional grant funding for subjects identified as supporting the NHS and wider healthcare policy, high-cost science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) subjects and/or specific labour market needs.

That s me done: How the UK government abandoned artists to COVID-19

URL copied to clipboard “It was the culmination of years of work,” says Kareem Samara, as he reflects on how things were supposed to turn out. The composer and musician finally felt like he’d arrived. The year 2020 was going to start with a production at the National Theatre, followed by a move to Stratford and then back to London for a stint at Shakespeare’s Globe. There were gigs, tours and recording sessions lined up, too. A week into rehearsals for ‘Welcome to Iran’, a National Theatre co-production, Samara and his fellow cast and crew gathered together to watch prime minister Boris Johnson announce that the country was going into lockdown. The theatres were closing. Samara packed his bags and went home. He hasn’t been in a theatre or played a live show since.

Over 300 arts organisations urge Boris Johnson to act on post-Brexit touring crisis

Hundreds of arts organisations have signed an open letter to Boris Johnson about the post-Brexit touring crisis. In January, the UK government denied claims that it rejected a deal offer from the EU that would allow musicians to enter countries that belong to the union without a visa following the completion of Brexit. A report by the Independent, quoting an unnamed source close to the negotiations, that a “standard” proposal that would exempt performers from needing a visa to enter countries in the EU for trips under 90 days was turned down by the government. Now, over 300 arts organisations have signed an open letter to UK prime minister Boris Johnson, highlighting the lack of a clear plan and support for musicians following Brexit. The letter, organised by the Incorporated Society Of Musicians (ISM), proposing four measures to guarantee the survival of the music sector:
