I need to keep a closer eye on what happens over there (and maybe, y’know, get round to visiting at some point).

Anyway, Ian from 7 Inch Cinema went along and has blogged his notes. Lots of good things there, including:

The arts in the UK are blighted with fearfulness, conservatism, reactionary ordinariness. Our job is to build a more exciting, bolder future than the past has been. There is no such thing as tradition. The earth never stops moving. Stasis is a delusion. Be open to changeability.

Meanwhile, BOC are a currently rehearsing a new mini-production of Stephen Oliver’s ‘A Man of Feeling’.
