Only a couple of days in and there’s already some good (and helpful) chat over on the CiB Facebook Page.
I’m planning to use that page’s discussion board when I need to ask questions, rather than cluttering up the blog. For example, we’re currently asking for suggestions as to who it’d be good to go and interview.
I’ve also opened a topic over there called ‘The Spam Board‘. Forgive the slightly cheeky name, but that’s a place for people to promote whatever they’ve got going on. It’s another thing for me to dip into occasionally too, so for instance we’ve got:
Rage Arts – The Scent of Evil
The Scent of Evil was made by The Rage Ensemble @ Birmingham Rathbone at The Urban Film Club. The club gives young people the opportunity to work with professionals to create short films. The young people worked with the director to create the story for The Scent of Evil and assisted behind the camera as well as appearing in the film itself
Friction Theatre – Mother Courage and Her Children by Bertolt Brecht
On at the Old Rep Theatre from tonight until Saturday 10 October:
Mother Courage and her Children is considered by many to be the greatest play of the 20th century. Brecht’s anti-war themes are as current today as when the play was first performed in 1941. Mother Courage’s business is war. She trades in brandy, boots and belts, endlessly dragging her children across Europe whilst attempting to protect them from the war’s devastating effects. Epic theatre at its most thought provoking.
What’s more, use the code ‘Friday Fiver’ when booking tickets via The Ticket Factory to take advantage of £5 for the show on Friday 9 October.
