East Midlands Branch

Lilac text against a purple backdrop reads "Equity - East Midlands"

Welcome to the East Midlands branch

The branch usually meets on the second Wednesday of the month, the notice of the meeting sent out in advance gives details. Our venue currently is Curve in Leicester but we have regular appraisals about other venues throughout the region - and there is always a Zoom link! Contact the branch for further details. 

The East Midlands branch provides local representation and support for members. It is a regular meeting place to access branch officers and regional representatives who can assist members with issues such as contracts, health and safety, and employment rights. The branch also provides opportunities for members to network and engage with their peers, enabling them to share knowledge, opportunities and experiences, as well as stay informed about industry developments.

Following the hugely successful photoshoot and social event in June our next East Midlands Equity branch meeting will host a panel discussion with a Voiceover Agent, a Theatrical Agent, and a Variety Booker. This will be a fantastic opportunity to ask questions about what agents look for, how to prepare, and what to expect from the process of getting signed.

(NB Not Mike Day variety Officer for Equity)
Acting Agents: Frank Simms from Ashrow Talent Agency.
