Just read the ‘Art Power 100’ list of the most powerful people in the art world @ArtReview_. Perhaps the 30 anonymous art insiders who made the list should also be on it. Those who stay in the shadows, deciding who has power, often have even more power. artreview.com/power-100?year…

Virtual reality film-making class with @Joeahunting, day 1: how to use a virtual camera in VR. Below: a walk-through of how to turn the camera into a drone. It's just mind-blowing: every camera move you could dream of is available.

Social VR offered many people a way through the pandemic - @WeMetinVRfilm (now on HBO Max) is a remarkable document of the power and potential of VR-based community. Highly recommended!
Very excited to be hosting @Joeahunting, director of the groundbreaking VR doc 'We Met In Virtual Reality' for a workshop with my students over the next two weeks. Can't wait for us all to put on our headsets and go exploring (and filming!) in VR with him. Welcome, Joe!

Replying to @BBCFrontRow
@BBCFrontRow reveals 2 year delay to national Arts Access Card. Plus all @ATGTICKETS access/companion tickets now bookable online @katyraines @CarrFlorence @IndigoLtd @stephsirr @uk_theatre @DigiAccessArts @DisabilityAPPG @DisRightsUK @attitudetweets @PA @AccessCard @ArtsPro👇
You can hear @carolynatkins14 detailed @BBCFrontRow feature on the inconsistencies of access ticketing & the case for a national scheme on @BBCSounds now @ 28 mins in. I remain convinced it will transform access for disabled audiences across the UK bbc.co.uk/programmes/m0019rk…

If you're interested in digital theatre and where it's going, ‘A Manifesto For The Future Stage’ written by a research group @metalabharvard is an inspiring read. It says everything our project has been trying to say for the last two years, but better! future-stage.org

Great to have received so much support since our report came out 2 weeks ago, and to hear how many theatres remain enthusiastic about digital. Especially delighted to hear from @NationalTheatre that they are still committed to NT@Home, and to using online as an accessibiity tool.
