Introducing the Persistent and Nasty CEC Community Check-In, a monthly online safe space for Scottish creatives to come together and discuss the realities of the arts sector in Scotland.

 

Persistent and Nasty have joined the CEC community to create a safe space and build a community for those who are marginalised in any way in the arts. This is the monthly meet-up for you if you’d like a safe space to say out loud all the things that have been running through your mind when it comes to working and creating in the arts in Scotland. Or maybe you just need a chance to sit, be present, and hear from others who are also dealing with the realities of our arts sector?

 

The Persistent and Nasty CEC Community Check-In is a rare chance to catch up with what’s really happening with people in the arts. Whether you’re a theatre-maker, filmmaker, or creative from any discipline, this space is for YOU.

 

Let’s connect, share, and support each other as we push for safety, wellbeing, and lasting change in our sector.

Harassment in the Performing Arts.

Guides for Freelancers and Organisations.

Harassment in the Performing Arts (HIPA)

​

Persistent and Nasty are part of the Harassment in the Performing Arts Working Group, a short-term, independent Working Group convened by the Federation of Scottish Theatre (FST). Many individuals took part in focus groups to inform thecontent of the guide. It is underpinned by what they told us, by other research and current legal advice. Everyone who contributed to its development is an experienced professional freelance worker or employee in the performing arts, coming from a range of different backgrounds. Our shared vision is to end sexual harassment in the industry. Find out more here.

"Persistent and Nasty who have been key in re-shaping our understanding of creating safer working environments within the sector. They have continued to challenge dominant narratives and I have seen them tackle the important issues whilst displaying incredible leadership during difficult times. They are at the forefront of driving inclusivity in Scottish theatre and bringing people together; within the current landscape it’s particularly vital that companies like Persistent and Nasty exist".
