For all the wonderful support that IdeasTap gives us all, let's support them right back! ‪#‎SaveIdeasTap‬ so we don't have to say ‪#‎GoodbyeIdeasTap‬!

Interesting article on audiences - should our theatre audiences be less uptight?

The idea of a quiet, polite audience wherein a cough elicits scorn from those around you is more or less a fairly recent one. Shakespeare's audiences were definitely disruptive; they shouted, stood, ate and drank - even the Greeks. Has the culture of cinema-going - sitting idly in a dark auditorium, and not an integral part of the action - brought about a level of expectation in our theatre audiences? Should we accept that audiences are a crucial part of the theatrical experience? How much do performers feed off of their audiences' reactions? Could lively audiences become a distraction?

Here we are, doing our thang... https://twitter.com/greatfestivals/status/573048320509140992

And it is done! We've stormed Shanghai with Scufflebox Theatre Company, performing twice in the ‪#‎GREATfestivals‬ today! Here's us celebrating with Shaun the Sheep! (Minus Jenni!)

Yeehaaaaaa

Holy hell! It's just 5 days until we jet off to Shanghai with Scufflebox Theatre Company! That came around fast. Looking forward to soaking in some Chinese culture, and food! (And performing at the GREAT Festival, of course!)

Just 28% of Performing Arts graduates find jobs in the creative sector. Should we be more enterprising?
