I've spent the last week at Capital Studios prototyping and experimenting with puppets for a new @grimprospectart.bsky.social show about changeling myths and neurodivergence/schizophrenia. Exposing autobiographical work, but with fairytale elements shown with puppets. m.youtube.com/watch?v=Gf8R...

Scottish theatre folk, who are the very new directors I should be aware of? I mean very recent entrants to the industry, with or without formal training, at the stage where they've done some fringe/grassroots-level work but probably haven't yet had work with RFO/MYF orgs. Shares appreciated.

This little emo just wants to say thanks to all the fab folk you came out to watch The Day I Died being shared and to @edchildrensfest.bsky.social for their support and to Ros, Tom, Sarah and Oliver for all their lovely work on it this week and to CS and Pitlochry for funding earlier developments.

Seeing Perth Youth Theatre perform Into the Woods at @perthtch.bsky.social filled me with a lot of hope for the industry. A theatre, at a time of uncertainty, providing quality experiences delivered by leading professionals to these young people, at this caliber, should really be what we strive for!

2025 looking a little thin. Not surprising considering the financial uncertainty in Scottish Theatre - but if anyone would like to chat to a composer/sound designer for their projects in the UK, I'd love to meet new people and make new things! jimharbourne.com

I miss the days when very rich people used their money to fund libraries, public art and philanthropic endeavors rather than launching slow-motion coups against the federal government.

Do you think it says a lot about ambition and commitment to art and community when arts orgs share joyous news on their SoMe platforms like Instagram and TikTok versus those that only share the same on LinkedIn?

This is another arts venue in North Lanarkshire at risk of closure. The decision will have a devastating effect upon staff at the venue and the communities it serves. I urge Creative Scotland and The Scottish Government to work with the Cumbernauld Theatre Trust to find a solution going forward.

📣 Cumbernauld Theatre has been removed from Creative Scotland's portfolio of funded organisations, placing the company, its employees and its vital work with the local community at risk. At this critical time, we need our community more than ever: lanternhousearts.org/future-at-risk

Daniel Roseberry is delivering the fantasy and theatricality in this season’s Schiaparelli couture show. I’ve always admired his work and often draw inspiration from him!

If the Kawakami book sounds intriguing, then this animated series currently on Netflix is a good match. Set on an alien plant with bizarre flora and fauna trying to kill or help you survive at every turn. It’s a cerebral exploratory series and beautifully animated! Highly recommend.

Ever since ‘The Nakano Thrift Shop’, I have always picked up translations of Hiromi Kawakami’s novels. I love all her books, although wasn’t wholly sold on ‘The Third Love’ quite as much. This, however… this is her most accomplished and breathtaking work! Would highly recommend! #books #bookrec

Theatre hive: does anyone rem the name of a play around fiveish years old, I think European , with around six young girls and a silent male body builder on stage? Scenes of red riding hood, screaming and marriage. I can’t rem the name of this genius work!

Let me tell you about the weird business that delivers art into our lives, and the impact it has on the long-term careers of artists. This is a thread prompted by yet another article on authors' incomes, and the inevitable reactions from the 'people-would-pay-if-it-was-worth-it-to-them' brigade. 1/

I’ve been wanting to do several things at once recently: • improve my writing • share my ephemeral thoughts on random things • further understand new modes of people meeting literary art • put some creativity out in the wider æther So I made a substack! writtenautofictions.substack.com

An annoying thing I’ve noticed in arts/heritage spaces is that instead of funding the creation of art, they instead want you to run workshops on how to make that art, presumably so then more people can then not get paid to make art but give a continuing chain of workshops

Super niche question, but… did anyone else read “Sustainability in an Imaginary World: Art and the Question of Agency” by David Maggs and have since followed his career/writing at the Metcalf Foundation? Because I’d like to talk about it. 🤔

For years, the joined up thinking of the arts organisations of Dundee have been something of a model for Creative Hubs in every local authority area in Scotland. It would be tragic to lose their example...not just for the city, but for the whole country.

people say “you need to start living in the real world” but they forget that the real world includes lupines and lightning bugs and ginger beer and starlight and sea coasts and Renoir paintings and Rachmaninoff’s piano concertos and fog banks and foxes playing in snow.
