- If you’ve not checked it, the Supersonic Collective Memory post is growing at an astounding rate. So many videos!
- More Macbeth at the MAC from 1st August. I think from now on the MAC should only show productions of Macbeth. More seriously I’m told this production “is completely financed, organised, directed, edited, designed and acted by a handful of A-level students from Stratford-upon-Avon college” who go by the name Neighbourhood Theatre so if you like your Shakespeare go give them some support. via damfino
- Rich Batsford writes about the music he’s had played on the current Radio To Go podcast.
- Also from Rich is news of some pre-Edinburgh comedy gigs he’s running at the lovely Old Joint Stock theatre. Oops, the first was yesterday but there’s another tonight with Andy White and Ivan Brackenbury, followed by two more on the 24th and 25th. Should we cover comedy on this blog? I think so.
- Dave Harte turns Creating Entrepreneurship: entrepreneurship education for the creative industries into a short play on his Strategy Digested blog – reading impenetrable government reports so you don’t have to. Kinda makes sense now.
- News is starting to trickle in on the Plus Design Expo blog, most recently that Jasper Goodall, Si Scott and Zip Design have been confirmed as attendees.
- Candice Smith informs on her blog that there’s an exhibition of fashion photography by Eleanor Gibbons and Laura Jackman on Level 3 of the Central Library at the moment.
- The long awaited Friends of the Stars CD isn’t out yet. But it will be soon. And then there’ll be blizzards in Hades.
- D’log sez: “If you’re a small creative firm in the West Midlands and you want £24,500 to help you to protect your intellectual property (copyright, licences, etc) then you have until 31st July 07 to apply for the grant” (The irony of my copying his post verbatim is not lost on me.)
- Creative Wolverhampton has details of the next Creative Networks meeting at Millennium Point titled “Music, Broadcast and Profit” with a keynote from George Webley. These are free events – more details here.
- Laura Gigslut’s listings are up.
(That’s the RSS feeds cleared. The sifting of 49 flagged emails will follow soon…)
Wow, I like the sound of the Macbeth thing. Haven’t they had at least some help from people in the profession or something?
To be honest I don’t know but it sounds like they’ve deliberately decided to go it alone. This sort of behaviour wouldn’t be unusual if they were a band, after all. DIY Shakespeare!
