Such Tweet Sorrow launched the other day; a retelling of Romeo & Juliet via Twitter. Telling stories via Twitter isn’t a new thing particularly, but the size and scope of this effort is what sets it apart. The RSC are behind this after all, and from what I gather rehearsals and workshops for this have been going on for aaaages.
Oh aye, and the Birmingham link is the involvement of Mudlark as producers, Substrakt as the website designers and Kate Beatty as the photographer responsible for the shots of the cast.
Exeunt omnes. Divers alarums.
With big changes happening at The Rep over the next few years, Kate Beatty‘s been asked to use her photographing prowess to document life behind the scenes at the theatre:
I have been shooting the interiors, back stage, workshop, wardrobe, wigs, props and the people behind the scenes….and there sure are some characters!
Photos will be going up on her blog every so often. Here’s the first:
One of the newer kids on the block, Best Believe is the work of Amy Martin – Sister 45 of Mama Feel Good fame.
Amy knows more than most about artists’ professional development so there’s a few mentions of that amongst interviews of local creatives (Kate Beatty and Nicole Scribbel so far), curated events listings, opportunities for artists/promoters and whatever she fancies flagging up.
