Our colleagues at FMTW have designed the Hub 101 to enable theatre freelancers to find straightforward answers without needing to already know how the industry (or the systems around it) works.

Explore the hub here: https://freelancersmaketheatrework.com/freelancing101/

You’ll find sections on ;
    •    Your first five steps as a new freelancer
    •    Money, tax and administration
    •    Finding work and building your career
    •    Contracts, rights and red flags
    •    Insurance and professional responsibilities
    •    Unions, networks and where to get help
    •    Wellbeing and sustainable freelancing
    •    Freelance terminology explained in plain English

You’ll also find practical tools: an invoice template, rate calculator, personal budgeting tools, a monthly admin checklist, a contract checklist, questions to ask before accepting work, red-flags guidance, access rider information, & support with chasing late payments.

Whether you’re about to take on your first freelance job – or you’ve been freelancing for years and just want a clearer system – you can use the Hub 101 as a starting point and come back to individual resources whenever you need them.
