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!
Thursday 18th November! Kicking off at 11:00am! Further info and the agenda for todays event.

We’re again testing Envirodigital‘s Carbon Emissions Avoided Indicator – we’re thrilled to be able to offer you as online participants the chance to see how much carbon footprint, cash and time you DIDN’T spend by attending online! It takes under a minute, it helps you know that you’ve cared for the earth, and it helps us work out cumulatively what carbon footprint, travel cost and travel time our online event has saved. What will happen? Click on the play button on the viewing screen below as normal. A green box will pop-up: fill in the few questions it asks you and submit them. Your results should be instantly delivered back! If you don’t want to participate, or you’ve received your results, just click the X to close the green box.
My Envirodigital client, the new National Theatre Wales, are launching their opening programme on 5th November 2009. It’ll be a big bang for a number of reasons: its Bonfire Night or Guy Fawkes’ Night in the UK, so there will be fireworks. There will also be a new destination website to visit where you can find out what’s on and buy tickets (the huge online community that we’ve grown organically over the past year will be just a click away, and is still growing in numbers, depth and activity daily).
The final big bang will be the style of the launch: rather than hiring an expensive venue to which the press and VIPs have to travel, NTW are instead webcasting the programme launch, hoping that journalists will NOT make the journey to Cardiff, but will watch the news unfold online and so help NTW achieve its environmentally sustainable aspirations. Don’t expect a fancy brochure either: the only paper NTW will print is a (very beautiful!) newspaper. And that will be available digitally too, so if you can’t pick it up in person, don’t expect to receive one in the post [eco choices, not post strike reasons 
)].
Read John McGrath’s blog about the launch for all the details, and HUGE congratulations to John and all the NTW team from us at Envirodigital – we’re so proud that you stuck to all your original aspirations, and thrilled that we could help you make them realities! For more details on the digital choices that I helped NTW make to ensure their digital set-up was environmentally sustainable, read the Envirodigital blog posts about the community development and the organisational development.
