Total privilege to work with students at St John Fisher in Harrogate today. What a brilliant set of students. And Stanislavsky still has something to say!

Quite impressive digital projection for the #Vangogh immersive exhibition. But a strangely cold experience I felt. Anyone else been?

Just like old times. Writing a short piece on #Stanislavsky and place. And only a passing reference to mountains!

Struggling to choose how best to celebrate Burns after a cracking veggie Haggis. But think it may be my new Campbeltown

Amy Lever’s play ‘Lost Girl’ has been programmed at The Lowry in September and we’re on the lookout for a producer. (I’ll be directing, but don’t let that put you off) Application pack here: docs.google.com/document/d/1...

The data is in and I managed 1241 miles in 2024. Still not managed to break 1500. Perhaps 2025 will be the year

My hard work is done and I’ve completed the #whisky advent challenge. 25 different whiskies with some real belters. Think the Balblair 15 was one of the best. And has a surprise Christmas present of exactly that!

This from my colleague Simon Kirchin Advent Calendar of Jokes. 1st December. I'm looking forward to this year's Advent Calendar of Jokes. Sadly, though, I hear that people are not so interested in Advent Calendars nowadays. Apparently their days are numbered.

Fascinating fusion of ideas in this event at PCI. Performance. Adaptation. Frankenstein. Climate breakdown.

Yesterday a story about 1k possible job losses in the automotive sector was top of the morning news. 10k possible job losses in HE was buried in the sector trade paper's coverage of redundancies at Sussex. Gov't & media refuse to recognise a crisis in HE. www.timeshighereducation.com/news/around-...

Just putting a book proposal together for White Rose University press. It’s called ‘a history of mountains in a dozen objects’. What would be your object, one which is intimately connected to a mountain and also with your experience of it?
