70 MINUTES
6 WORDS
10 TONS OF KIT
A SET 2M WIDE AND 14M DEEP
45 AUDIENCE MEMBERS…
…WILL YOU BE ONE OF THEM?
I’m off topic with this post and off to the theatre on Sunday to see one of the most extraordinary shows conceived by one of the country’s finest companies: Stan’s Cafe. I work for Stan from time to time and was very excited when I first saw the set for The Cleansing of Constance Brown during rehearsals in an old factory in Digbeth. The company is lauded all over the world (I do not exaggerate – they’ve won export awards) but the chance to see them in Birmingham is quite rare.
Constance Brown is the final production for the Mac’s longstanding festival Moving Parts.

Mark McGuinness’ new project is a must for anyone working in the creative sector.
I’ll let him explain:
I’ve just created a new blog, Wishful Linking, to share links that may be useful and/or interesting to you as a creative professional. So if you’d like me to send you links to web pages about creativity, creative careers, managing creativity, intellectual property, creative industries, blogging, marketing, time management etc, then sign up for the RSS feed now.

And so the tail lengthens.
What we need now is a business which watches you repairing something live and then identifies and dispatches the parts you need as they diagnose the problem. Free service – income from parts. That would allow amateurs to do the live watching and diagnosis and take an affiliates cut from the parts sales. Trust would be established through rating the quality of the diagnosis.
