During the run of Marion Bridge in early March, David Pasquino, my board member and treasurer and I made a visit to the London Arts Council. I had received a project grant in 2019 for Falling: A Wake. I wanted to see if we would be eligible for further funding on our next projects. I was delighted to find out that since we became a not-for-profit corporation, we would now be eligible for the CAIP Organizational stream. This is of great benefit to Theatre Aezir because this type of grant covers operational expenses that a project grant does not. We had a productive meeting with Rebekah Morrison, and we left the meeting very encouraged. The application deadline was the end of March. There was plenty of work to do in a short time. The grant came together, and I am ecstatic to say we were successful. We gratefully thank the London Arts Council and the City of London for their substantial support.
