Costume designer Catherine Kodicek says even when the pay is good and the long hours are managed, the stresses and strains of Covid can take their toll on backstage staff on theatre’s front line
If the government wants to recapture the optimism of the 2012 Olympics, says Catherine Kodicek, £120 million towards fairer working structures might be a better gesture than a misguided ’Festival of Brexit’
The time frames may be different, and more forward planning is required, but Covid-safe working is good news for costume professionals, says Catherine Kodicek
Theatre’s recovery depends on the ingenuity of its workforce, says costume designer Catherine Kodicek – it is we who have all the tools needed to save the arts
We must not allow the government to tell us it cannot afford to support the arts, nor to insist workers repay the support they have received, says costume designer Catherine Kodicek
