Stages should be a safe place for everyone

THIS IS A PRESS RELEASE

Cultural organisations with a Cultural Membership can place their press releases on our site without restrictions. Participate too? Take a Cultural Membership.

It is with concern that we see increasing incidents of polarisation in our homes and on our stages.

Everyone, from creators to staff and audiences, should be safe inside our houses and on our stages. In doing so, even in this antagonistic time, there is no place for actions or intimidations motivated by anti-Semitism, xenophobia, gender discrimination or any other expression contrary to our constitution.

We endorse The Creative Coalition's statement emphasising that the cultural sector should be a safe haven where artistic expression is celebrated and disagreements can come together in a respectful way.

We pursue inclusiveness so that the essence of our homes and our cultural tradition remains intact; we stand for the free arts and free speech.

Together with the State Secretary for Culture and Media, we want to establish a safety protocol so that, should the need arise, venues can call on preventive safety measures from the government. To remain a place that is open and accessible to all.
