Three people gathered around a tablet on a stand. They are all gazing at the screen, with the person in the middle touching it. In front of them are two separate desks, with lollipops, bags, and papers on top of their surface. In the background is a marquee wall and ceiling.

A diverse group of performers stands on a stage. From left to right: a person at an easel painting; a tall, reflective, stilt-walker holding a Culture Night logo above; a ballet dancer in a tutu on pointe; and a person playing an acoustic guitar. The background is dimly lit with stage lights highlighting each performer.

Some thoughts on this #ArtsCouncil story in the Indo today m.independent.ie/irish-news/ar…. First of, @dpcireland.bsky.social “grant an extension” on data breach notifications under Article 33. 72 hours is a hard deadline. After that data controllers (i.e. Arts Council) got some ‘splainin’ to do.

Talking to audience and participants at my summer project, teaching the Peasants Revolt to kids in Basildon. They learnt the history, made all props and backdrops, and acted out the history of the Revolt in a movement-based piece.

More projects coming very soon! #artscouncil #history #medievalsky

And it's a sickener for arts organisations
- Arts Council demands high standards of cultural organisations. It failed to meet them itself

Arts Council demands high standards of cultural organisations. It failed to meet them itself
A new IT framework will have seemed a good idea to many in the arts, but much went wrong in its implementation
