📆 Tues 19th Nov @ 2-9pm GMT
👥 💻 in-person & online

This is also at #EdFringe and comes highly recommended as a potential contender for the erstwhile @TotalTheatreNet Circus Award
Latest review: 'Sawdust Symphony', by Michael Zandl, David Eisele, and Kolja Huneck thecircusdiaries.com/2023/10…
And also @Machinedecirque #GhostLight. Double win. Honourable mention to @WesPeden #Rollercoaster. Could sly in to a triple.
Can I put it out there that if #totaltheatreawards were running this year, #tweedysmassivecircus would (should!) win the circus category #EdFringe

Is it me, or have the #EdFringe offerings got a marked surreal streak this year?

Inspiring contributions from all today's workshop participants ✨️ (And nice to hear in the feedback that they want more - maybe this will need to become a series...?)

Ooh, some good reading here ahead of my viva on Friday! (Especially interesting stuff on coding expressions of opinion from Yejin Jung, @danagablas, @vaclavbrezina and @hanna_schmueck)
Two years in the making, all papers in this @JournalCorpus special issue on innovation in the compilation and analysis of spoken corpora are now published (open access) - full issue out in November.
Thanks to all authors, reviewers and of course RiCL!

After over 5yrs at @cardiffuni this is my first time in the #GlamorganBuilding.
Bloody gorgeous.
(And looking forward to the @CreativeCardiff industry day for creative writers)

ALT A panoramic photo of a period lecture theatre. Maybe Victorian? Stone walls with ornate cornices and sculptures, wooden benches with leather seats, red carpeting and burnt orange velour curtains ringing the walls. A very high domed ceiling with coloured glass windows, and three large oil paintings on the wall behind a modern projector screen.
And, just as I'm sending off my thesis, I get another email in confirming my FHEA application was successful! Woot woot! 🎉
@AdvanceHE
After all that, I press send on an email and it's done? Waiting for someone to tell me I've missed something, but until then, the PhD thesis is submitted!

@VictoriaScone I know I'm totally behind but just watching your Canada Versus the World season and sooooo happy to hear you question the term 'fishy'! I've always hated hearing it in drag culture, loved hearing someone else voice that on a high profile stage! – at Cardiff, Wales

The website hosting the #CriticalMass report on UK theatre audiences is down and I dont have a copy saved. Anyone know if this is temporary, or can send me a copy? @DanRebellato @chris_megson @KirstySedgman – at Cardiff, Wales
