Online Event: The Show Must Go On

While ‘show business’ is often seen as glamorous, fun, exciting, and well paid, the reality paints a darker picture. Recent research by Entertainment Assist shows anxiety symptoms in entertainment workers are 10 times higher, sleep disorders are 7 times higher and symptoms of depression are 5 times higher than the national average.

To coincide with the documentary The Show Must Go On (dir. Ben Steel, 73 mins) and supported by Screenwest will be a special online event for Western Australia as part of a national Wellness Roadshow. This event includes a panel moderated by producer Sue Maslin and including Ben Steel (writer/director) along with Julia Edwards (Entertainment Assist) and psychologist Sarah Borg. The panel will discuss the issues raised in the film, what action the broader industry can take, as well as provide tools and resources to support individuals. A must-see for all those working in the arts and entertainment industry, particularly as our industry is entering a difficult time with more specific challenges coinciding with COVID-19.

PLEASE NOTE: This online event is for Western Australian residents only.
