I'm not great at the whole self-promotion thing, so I'll just mumblingly note that I'm one of the writers involved in this - http://www.bushtheatre.co.uk/sixtysix/. And then I'll shamble off elsewhere. (2 Kings. My dates are the 10th (October), 14th, 19th and 28th. Other writers involved include Wole Soyinka, Jeanette Winterson and the Archbishop of Canterbury. Yes. I am kind of making up the numbers.)

Emergence our arts and sustainability project here in Wales was very inspired by the work of the people at Tipping Point. You could say we are all part of a broader family of arts ventures that are thinking about things like social justice, activism and climate change. Here is a chance to get to one of their brilliant events.

Some of you will have seen Alan Dix (Director of My LAST CARE) perform his Peachy Coochy piece as part of the Emergence conference at Taliesin Swansea. Also…

It feels like an extraordinary  time, poised between reflecting on Emergence past and planning for Emergence future.

Maybe I should say a few things about Emergence to put all this into some sort of context. Last year whilst on sabbatical from…

Thursday 15^th of September saw the second Word4Word event and the first to be held by NTWteam. A night devoted to celebrating the importance of words and the variety of forms in which they are delivered. Originally to be held at CAI a whirlwind of panic set in when their refurbishment was put forward and we only had two days to find a new venue. Thankfully Milgi’s stepped in and the yurt was ours for the night.

After comically carrying heavy benches in…
