Hopping back on twitter to promote this festival happening in Cambois, we're very proud of the range of theatre, dance, exhibition and community work we're able to pull together.

@m1cvv Josh is one of the greats, just made a short film with him, looking forward to bingeing hostage!

If you hear a Geordie accent on new #Netflix thriller #Hostage then that is Josh Barrow. Josh starred in a stage show a good few years back about the Dark Web written by @FunkSmuggler I did a Q&A with them at Live Theatre about it, both great lads! theatreweekly.com/interview-josh…

Republican Matt Schlapp on @bbcradio4 Today explained ‘we have this phrase here in America.. making a mountain out of a molehill’ - it’s actually of ‘freeloading European’ Greek origin

The Florida Project - this film doesn't have a plot, when's it gonna start oh wait, I'm bawling my eyes out, genius

@TraynorKaren @burn_danielle @beckylisamorris haha genuine smiles, you were reliably brilliant as ever!

@FunkSmuggler @burn_danielle @beckylisamorris Thanks mate. Your smiling face was lush 👍

Loved Blitzen on Tyne, big congrats to @burn_danielle , @beckylisamorris and their team. It's a big-hearted, clever and funny show that every kid in the North East should see!

having kids is opting for the 'just been burgled' style of interior decor

Please join us ♥️🙏🏼

@BenWalmsley I see, thanks! I'll await the ACE budget with all my fingers crossed!

@FunkSmuggler No and yes - the ACE budget will be agreed later via DCMS and she announced a huge creative industries investment in the north east as well as the transpennine electrification from York to Manchester …

Did I miss the bit where she gave the Arts Council a good few billion and remembered there's a north beyond Leeds?

Get down to @Alphabetti to see Rachel Corrie this week. Important, vital theatre brilliantly staged with a powerhouse of a tour-de-force by the unendingly talented @glendenninining

@SarahJZiegel Magic! Super happy for you all

@FunkSmuggler Thank you, all three boys graduated this summer on the same day ❤️

We loved chatting with @DavidJWhetstone @culturemag - thanks for the brilliantly written glimpse into what’s going on at @icambois culturednortheast.co.uk/p/colour-cultu…

My theory is that smartphones automatically add the northern lights to your pictures of a blank sky to make you keep buying them

I'm so proud of the season we've put together for the Tute; imagine a miner's welfare hall packed with people to watch Beckett; culture is for everyone! This will be phenomenal

Village welcomes hundreds of visitors for first-ever heritage arts festival chroniclelive.co.uk/news/north-eas… Thanks @halld39 @janeimrie_ @HeritageFundUK @ace_thenorth @ICambois
