  1. The arts an important part of Brighton’s new Digital Festival

    AmbITion champion Bill Thompson of the BBC took his podcast programme (and now merged with BBC TV show of the same name) ‘Click’ to Brighton’s first Digital Festival.

    It is an event that brings together hackers, digital artists and technophiles to explore the realms of digital technology.

    Hackers from a Mini Maker Faire demonstrate how they have repurposed various bits of old gadgetry.

    Click also hears from Honor Harger one of the organisers (and Arts Council England #digicaparts champion) of the festival about the big questions that are being posed about our information society and where it is all going. A great example of the arts sector at the heart of the digital debate.

  2. Responsibly international performing arts practice (its digital!)

    The British Council have been hosting their Edinburgh Showcase 2011, which included a digital day, focusing on creating engaging digital content (case studies: Digital Theatre, NT LIve!, Watershed) and engaging audiences digitally (case studies: National Theatre Wales, Sadler’s Wells, Hoipolloi & my very own Envirodigital). I talked to the international delegates about how to engage audiences internationally, but responsibly (in relation to protecting the environment).

  3. Webinar on-demand: Five Minute Theatre in an Hour!

    WEBINAR 10: Five Minute Theatre in an Hour!

    The tenth in AmbITion Scotland’s webinar series is an in-depth case study of the live and online production by National Theatre Scotland of Five Minute Theatre. It explores the issues and opportunities of digitizing live, cultural experiences; crowdsourcing content; and building online audiences, so is for anyone interested in those concepts, and is not specific to theatre!
