NICritics

We had a great model before the pandemic, but now we're older, poorer and far more tired. Has the NIC project come to a natural end? We're thinking hard on this, so do get in touch if you have thoughts/energy/vision xxx

@cardiffunilib @fcl_ordinarymum I was thinking that too! Although I'm not sure that it serves its accessibility function as well as it could. More like providing a narrative to what is not visible in the image

@fcl_ordinarymum 😃

Good morning to everyone except these two

My point is that this is wh Black journalists are important.. I don’t know if I could have roamed & made ppl feel comfortable enough to talk to me if I was white. But I didn’t do this, a bunch of brave Black women did this.

Love love these collages of ekphrastic responses from fellow PhD-er @CreatedtoRead, created from #audienceresearch at @Museum_Cardiff ❤️ Currently on display at Urban Crofters in #Roath

🧵Theatre Criticism! I've written, featured in and am a reader of it. This is not about me or aimed at anyone. I'm observing recurring patterns and yearn for quality. This is a thread nobody asked for- take it with a pinch of salt, get stuck in, consider it, or scroll on.

Arts writing workshop for those around Bristol (UK). Explore tips and techniques for reviewing circus #CircusArts

Pantomime fans/bloggers/reviewers, make yourselves known! RT to share for me please 🫶 #journorequest #prrequest

Today is an @edfringe planning day. Is anyone is interested this is how I plan. I am still one of those who uses pen and paper diary's and I find something satisfying filling in the pages. Now to decide which day I go to which venue @theSpaceUK @Gildedballoon @AssemblyFest

i reckon i can offer 25 companies - taking a show to edinburgh or any other fringe this summer - a 30min zoom for free, if youd appreciate thoughts/advice on how to market it or just want to bounce ideas around 🙏 dm me if that appeals

I wrote some audience thoughts on Blackout Performances and The White Gaze in UK theatres kimprovised.wordpress.com/2023/05/27/the…

I had a great day at the #MetamodernCircus symposium Cardiff today @NoFitState @CircusDiaries - such an eclectic mix of thinkers and artists and practitioners. Can’t quite stop thinking about audiences, falling, and juggling (for) plants. Thanks to @BustingFree @ThomHamer et al!

This week's the week! Join us for our 10th birthday party slash #circademic geek out, exploring how and where circus connects with the current cultural moment of #metamodernism

I have posted this before but .. 26 years ago, a gunman entered Dunblane Primary School in Scotland, killing 16 kids and a teacher. The UK govt responded by enacting tight gun control legislation. In the 9400+ days since, there have been a total of O school shootings in the UK.
