#coriolanus
The media infrastructure I built gave us all access to the details, at least visually and aurally, however small and however far away… even to the intimate meetings in cars…

Me too… easily the best typed impersonation I’ve read in a long time… an under explored satirical form perhaps ?
#coriolanus
A performance work created as a public space, at the scale of public space… the hangar floor was 90m x 50m… at the time I described the place as ‘a landscape with a lid’…

Someone or something pointed me to it when it was released, but wasn't looking so would have missed it otherwise... I really like the edge of age in her voice now. Not so clean, but richer somehow...
It’s been a bit of a week, on a few levels… but luckily the evening is approaching fast here, and I’ll be going to play soon..
Have been enjoying the new album, been long enough to have forgotten how much I was waiting for it…

Three Olympics ago, twelve years ago this week, for the Cultural Olympiad of the London 2012 games…
We realised our very large-scale performance work ‘Coriolan/us’ - a reimagining of Shakespeare’s ‘Coriolanus’ for and as public space, performed in a vast decommissioned WW2 aircraft hangar in South Wales, jointly produced by National Theatre Wales and the Royal Shakespeare Company…
A work that, unfortunately, still feels current…

I’m going to have to put hand up and say I really appreciate the clarity of this design, especially on mobile (where, yes, I use it most)
At its heart, it’s a curated collection of very disparate icons and brand identities - all of which it allows me to see, navigate and engage with beautifully
I also find the actual sorting and navigation UX unusually clear and understandable
For me, anything more busy or colourful for the core structure, in fact anything asserting a busier separate identity of its own, would be difficult and distracting…

Starting with what I later had to admit was a thinly veiled self portrait…
