This act sought ‘to make further provision for the welfare of disabled, sick, aged and other persons’ and provide accommodation and assistance to those that were deemed destitute. 17 The Equal Pay Act 1970 legislated for equity between genders in regards to pay and employment conditions. More recently the New Labour government’s introduction of the National Minimum Wage increased maternity rights and Universal Child Benefit. Additionally, European policies around gender equality have been influential in challenging gender disparity in the UK. 18 The Fawcett Society, 30. 19 National Council for Voluntary Organisations, ‘Cultural Comissioning Programme’, NCVO, https://www.ncvo.org.uk/practical-support/information/public-services/cultural-commissioning-programme (accessed January 17, 2018). 20 James Thompson, ‘Towards an Aesthetics of Care’, RIDE: The Journal of Applied Theatre and Performance 24, no. 4 (2015): 430–41 (437). 21 Ibid., 438. 22 See, for example, Caoimhe McAvinchey, ed., Performance and Community: Case Studies, (London: Bloomsbury, 2013); Helen Nicholson, Applied Drama The Gift of Theatre (Basingstoke: Palgrave Macmillan, 2005); and Petra Kuppers, Community Performance: An Introduction (Oxon: Routledge, 2007). 23 Carol Gilligan, Joining the Resistance (Cambridge: Polity, 2011), 23. 24 Waslin, unpublished interview. 25 Anna Herrmann, email exchange with the author, March 15, 2018. 26 ‘CLINKS MEMBER’S NEWS: Using the Arts to Support Women’, Clinks, January 22, 2016, http://www.clinks.org/clinks-light-lunch-issue-422-22nd-january-2016#memnews4 (accessed December 20, 2016). 27 Nicholas Ridout, Stage Fright, Animals and Other Theatrical Problems (Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 2006), 6. 28 Joan Tronto, Caring Democracy: Markets, Equality, and Justice (New York: New York University Press, 2013), 55. 29 Waslin, unpublished interview. 30 See Selma James, Sex, Race and Class, The Perspective of Winning: A Selection of Writings 1952–2011 (Oakland: PM Press, 2012); Mariarosa Dalla Costa, Family, Welfare, and the State: Between Progressivism and the New Deal (Edinburgh: Common Notions, [1983] 2015); and Leopoldina Fortunati, The Arcane of Reproduction: Housework, Prositution, Labour and Capital (Brooklyn: Automedia, 1995). 31 Silvia Federici, Revolution at Point Zero: Housework, Reproduction, and Feminist Struggle (Oakland: PM Press, 2012), 96. 32 Katherine Chandler, unpublished Spent script, 2016.
