The NPO Face Plant
Tuesday’s announcement from Arts Council England (ACE) concerning their National Portfolio Organisations (NPO) was, compared to 2014, a fairly low-key affair. Unlike the previous round of funding this year was not expected to feature any huge cuts to the arts in general so things were a little less nerve wracking for the folks that spent […]

The company says this much about ‘Getting Dressed’; Getting Dressed is a work […]

Jupiter’s Buttocks
Tim Couchman (Mr Couch) is a man, a ballet dancing man, he’s pissed and he’s not going to take it anymore. This particular ballet bloke is a little bit unhappy, to say the least, with the dancers at The Royal Ballet who, in his view, completely blew the performance of a work called “The Human […]
