We’ve just come to the end of a 5 week initial r&d on a new work involving movement, text and cassette tapes.

Over the weeks we’ve had the pleasure of working with lots of wonderful people and have been in residence at both @DanceBase and @the_work_room.

Why are the @theSNP spinning what actually happened. This a reverse of proposed budget cut. Not an uplift.

[The SNP @theSNP]

🖼️ We're substantially increasing funding for arts, culture and major events in Scotland.

🎸 In the #ScotBudget, we announced the £6.6 million uplift to Creative Scotland funding - supporting the arts and culture sector at this challenging time.

[Tess Letham @LethamTess]

@theSNP This is a reverse of 6.6m proposed cuts. Good news. But not an uplift. Please don’t pretend the SNP is investing more in the arts. Actually it’s still essentially a cut due to cost of living/energy crisis. An actual uplift of 6.6m would be very welcomed for a sector on its knees.

[Tess Letham @LethamTess]

@FedScotTheatre @culturecounts @_CFTA I think it would be good to make clear that it’s a reverse of the proposed 10% cuts, not an uplift.

[Hidden Door @hiddendoorarts]

From New Orleans to Hidden Door...

On 1 June the legendary @Hot8BrassBand will bring us their unique sound, fusing the traditional jazz heritage of New Orleans with funk & hip hop 🔥

This week is the last call for visual art submissions, so we thought we’d take a look back at some of the most memorable installations that have helped transform our venues from empty, unused buildings into a vibrant festival space… https://t.co/GeAygePA6U
