Guest Blog: Day Last

And so I come to the end of my guest blogging fortnight. It’s been very cool and I’ve enjoyed it a lot. Maybe if I’m good I’ll be able to come back and pester you all again. Sorry I haven’t blogged as much this week, it’s been kinda busy and there’s always a [...]

Guest Blog: Gaaargh Day Two

Ahoy there! It’s pirate and story writing week for me and so far progress is slow… that’s rather disappointing. Unfortunately it’s proving to be a busy week at work and the evenings are rather full, predictably, with MissImp related improv action.

A tiny recap. I write short pirate stories under the [...]

Links round-up: the four day week

There’s nothing like a bank holiday weekend for proving how quickly time goes. So here are some opportunities for which now (or PDQ) is the best time to act.

Creative industries - tell the council what you think 

As you might have guessed by now, here at CreativeNottingham we are serious advocates of Nottingham’s creative industries. There’s a [...]

Guest Blog: Day Next – Gaaargh!

Hello again, how lovely to see you. Last week was all about MissImp and improvised comedy, I’m sure I badger you further in that regard at some point this week, but I also wanted to assure you that my life/improv/work balance is indeed as badly weighted as you might have suspected, indeed it’s [...]

Guest blog. Day Something- I’ve lost track of time

Okay, so a day turned into two, but The Day After Improv confused me a bit about the days of the week. That was on Friday, when I filled you in on our show preparation and right up to just before the show started.

The Day After Improv (two days ago)

I’m [...]

Guest Blog: Day four, we go to Improv War

I’m afraid today’s blog entry might not reach the Homeric proportions of rambling tangentiary yesterday achieved. Sorry about that. The reason for my (possible) brevity is the sheer imminence of the show!

Yep, that’s the plug again – The Day After Improv – Friday (tonight) 27th August at the Art Organisation on [...]

Releasing your Inner Gamer

Computer games are fun, there’s no denying it. You’ve definitely played one, even if it’s only Solitaire, or Farmville, or Snake (anyone else miss the classic Nokia phones? Ah, the 3310…) They have also blossomed into one of the UK’s highest grossing creative industries, which means that they’re kind of a big deal nowadays… So [...]

Guest Blog: Day 3 – what is improvised comedy anyway?

Right then, yesterday I realised that I’d leaped into the whole ‘yo, we’re MissImp and we’re dope’ (I believe this is how the kids express themselves now), without explaining what improvised comedy is. That would be due to a lack of planning – that idea will prove to be relevant later on and [...]
