    “Who better than an underground club promoter to sniff out the best shopping, food, bars and parties in Birmingham?” Odd that the photo caption says ‘outside Rooty Frooty’

    As we draw closer to the big day, this page will be where you can find information of the days schedule, where we’ll be and what to look forward to

    There’s one of those little Area guide things for the Southside/Gay Village area

    Identity Drama School Birmingham presents a powerful collection of hard-hitting, yet often humorous monologues, duologues and original plays drawing inspiration from a wide portfolio of contemporary playwrights, performed by Identity Drama School actors at The Drum Theatre in Birmingham
  • Sculpture Commission opportunity
    We are seeking expressions of interest from artists or designers with experience of public art projects, ideally with experience of working in healthcare settings and with at least three years of graduate experience

  • Nude show where naked dancers sit in lap of audience to spearhead Birmingham International Dance Festival
    Fairly tragic piece by the Sunday Mercury but then this is the kind of publicity that means the show’ll sell out, so good on them (kinda). And anyway, they clearly haven’t heard the half of it
  • Eastside Projects Public Evaluation Event
    “From 27 to 29 October, Eastside Projects in Birmingham, UK held a three day symposium to analyse and evaluate three years of an artist run space as public gallery”. The videos are online, I just wish they had titles

The emailer said (and these are a couple of extracts):

    I am currently looking for creative projects to get involved with in the Birmingham area, specifically film or media based projects. I have lots of transferable skills through studying film on my course and I am looking for possible work experience (unpaid) in TV, film or any kind of production, as a runner, film grip and/or any position where the skills I have may come in useful.

    My biggest focus is finding opportunities, getting out there and getting involved in anything I can, from possible collaborations to arts events, workshops, anything to keep me busy and anything that allows me to be creative and continues the type of work I was doing on my course.

    I couldn’t think of anything specific but gave a few starting places. I operate on the assumption that CiB readers know much more than I do, so if anyone can add anything then please do in the comments. My reply:

    Hey

    I can’t think of any specific opportunities at the moment. It’s a bit of a funny time for that kind of thing at the moment, what with Screen WM (who used to put on events and so on) closing down a few months back and Creative England (the body taking their place) only just getting up and running. In the meantime it might be worth looking at http://www.bsin.co.uk/ and seeing what they’re up to.

    Also, have a look at these events, get yourself along and see who you meet:

    Maybe see what courses are happening at http://www.macarts.co.uk/ or http://light-house.co.uk/

    Cheers

    Chris

    Creative Times are doing a series of events around the country, with the first being a panel discussion at Fazeley Studios on Wednesday November 30 from 6.30-8pm. It’s titled ‘The Beauty of Digital: New technologies, old aesthetics and where the two meet‘.

    Tickets are FREE and available here.

    Here’s the info:

    A panel of four, chaired by Creative Times editor Chris Sharratt, will share their own experience of the creative interplay between old and new, followed by an audience Q&A and a chance to chat in the bar afterwards.

    The panel for the night is:

    Pete Ashton, Blogger, photographer, ‘webmonkey’ and trainer (peteashton.com/)
    Chris Unitt, Head of Social Media, Made Media Ltd (mademedia.co.uk)
    The Brothers McLeod, BAFTA-nominated animators (brothersmcleod.co.uk/)

    The event is supported by Hello Culture.

    Pete’s making a few appearances this month, and I’m speaking at a bunch of things too. Say hi if you come along.
