When artists feel safe and supported in a workplace, they are better able to focus on their work.

Theatre maker and cabaret artist, Pea Dinneen believes that when artists enter a working environment where they feel safe and supported, they are better able to focus on their work and perform at their best. Rather than viewing safety as a checklist of rules, Pea sees it as the creation of a culture and environment where people feel respected and cared for. In Pea’s view, safe workplaces are built on the assurance that an individual's dignity, wellbeing, and basic decency are recognised and valued, allowing artists to participate with greater confidence and ease.
