i need every performer to learn how to use a microphone properly before they make the ‘is this thing even on?!!’ joke

to be fair - if producers are gonna be sharing the job of producing (co-pros) - it’s only fair everyone else gets to share jobs too

i get that if the play is good then the acting is probably good and the sets probably good etc etc but yknow

i know it’s a bit pointless to feel any particular way about the olivier’s as someone working in scotland but i felt this abt the cats too so - these judges really do just sit in the same 5 theatres and nominate whatever they see In There

why are clothes all oversized now. what about normalsized. correctsized. actualsized.

why can i hear bagpipes. there’s not even a match on

a person is silhouetted by a sunset with their arms above their head, breaking the chain of shackles on their wrists

just unsubscribed from mandy’s instant job alerts

a lot of probably important writing about scottish arts funding decisions all hidden behind paywalls, lol

this morning feels very similar to waiting for your sqa results text

i for one am excited about the decade-long war between just stop oil and the new heathrow expansion. mon the JSO

got a glow in the dark watch today and I can’t wait to be the most annoying person in the tech session

Many, many, many will spend the coming months if not trying to suppress the truth of what has been done to Gaza, then insisting that they didn't know, we didn't know, just how bad it was.

We have all known enough to know. It has always been right here at our fingertips.

Ah, my favourite Sound of Music scene, when Reverend Mother calls Maria a cunt face.

is it multidisciplinary or is it just video content

plus - concerts have conceded a lot to The Phone, which a lot of artists complain about, but u cld say it allows them to be freer with camerawork onstage. if theatre let audiences on their phones then cameras onstage might be less cringe

also thinking a loooot about (re)mediatisation and live events… a lot of performing to the camera (not us) here but then many ppl already experience concerts thru their phone cameras - why not do the remediatising for us, in better quality

charli xcx gig was like being bathed in light. just excellent scenography & design. every concert shld have at least 3 kabuki drops

once panto is over i will go back to my #hema club and do a lot more sword posting probably

overall 3/10 for actual swordfighting but 8/10 for entertainment. kicking pirates in the butt (literally) >> historical accuracy

the distance management is terrible but again points for switching to grappling when they’re very very close

as usual for stage/tv sword fights, spending way too much time in the bind but they get points for binding mostly in the strong

secondly, they’re using rapiers as if they were cutting weapons - slashing side to side - rather than thrusting & winding as they’re intended for

ok but actually. first they’re using modern fencing-style rapiers, which according to the three ish youtube videos ive seen is not very accurate to the setting (peter pan pirates)
