Warning: this is not a conference for the built environment. If you come to Pattern Festival 2024 expecting a standard industry experience, you won’t get one. We aim to entertain, inform, inspire and surprise you. Our placemaking event is a festival, not a conference. We’ve deliberately chosen to call it that. What makes it a festival? We’ve got a varied lineup of guest speakers, panellists and presenters, many of whom you wouldn’t normally associate with the built environment. We want to move the dial, celebrate grassroots activity and put progressive placemaking firmly on the agenda. Why don’t you join us? Pattern Festival 2024 is on 19 June, at x+why, Victoria Embankment, Manchester. Tickets are on sale now. Limited availability. www.patternfest.com

Community in action Yesterday I was supporting the Little Arts Festival 2024 in my role as committee member and Visual Arts lead at a drop in session and contributors event to share how plans are developing for the festival. My takeaways are :- 1. The amazing arts talent community within a 10 mile radius from published authors, to actors, to singers to renowned artists all coming together to share their passion for the arts. 2. Having a theme to tie the festival together of Past | Present | Future really enables discussions what ever genre and to bring all the threads together. 3. The volunteers and helpers that help put events on offer venues all wanting to play their part in bringing the community together, leaving a legacy. 4. As a society we still have a lot of work to do to engage the artist and audiences of the future to contribute and participate. We had plans but due to item 5 we currently cannot support one of the events on an immersive art experience. 5. Funding is very difficult to support events such as this and you have to think very differently all previous sources of funding have changed their criteria. If your a corporate looking for social value opportunities please reach out to your arts community they will be very grateful and you will be adding a lasting legacy to your local area. Our first event will be the Summer Exhibition on the 8th and 09th June 2024. If you would like to know more about the festival plans and how you could get involved. https://lnkd.in/evtMSJc4 PS in the words of one of the event locations “ nothing stands still its ever changing” and if you’ve followed me for a while you’ll know Change is the only Constant.

I was really struggling to pick shows at the Edinburgh Fringe. With over 3,900 shows, the Fringe website’s alphabetical list can make it daunting. So I made a thing! ?? Introducing Fringe Show Explorer – a simple webapp that makes your Fringe experience smoother. It highlights shows that aren't sold out on your chosen day but are popular on other days. No more decision fatigue! If you're planning to go, give it a whirl ?? https://lnkd.in/eQ5_KeED (Stay tuned for a blog on how I gathered the data and an in-depth analysis of Fringe show purchasing patterns. Happy exploring! ??)

It’s a now a year since I started my new job, which I suppose means I can’t call it ‘new’ anymore. It has set me thinking about time, how we measure it, and about progress, and how we measure that. What’s in a year and what do I really have to show for it? On the face of it, there are few external signs of progress. It’s been a whole year and I don’t yet have a building to show for my efforts, not even the foundations. ‘When is it opening?’ is a question I am asked most weeks, and that’s before construction has even begun. When I say it’ll be another four years, there is usually a feint look of horror or perhaps even pity. But here’s the thing about concert halls: they’re complex, bespoke and you only get one chance to get them right. Four years seems a small price to pay when you’re creating history and working on a project that will give people joy for generations to come. And here’s the other thing: on a project like this where the timeline is long and where everyone is waiting for one big thing, time feels different. It both slows down and speeds up — the years ahead often feel long, but the days and weeks whizz by in a flurry of activity. Somehow a whole year has already passed, in which time we’ve appointed a brand new (and utterly brilliant) team, shared our vision and values, consulted our future audiences, recruited a new set of trustees and committee members, designed our fundraising strategy, started building our partnerships and been bolstering our national and international networks. If you’ll forgive the pun, we have been building the foundations of the Dunard Centre. There may not be spades in the ground yet but there have been small (and big) wins every single day, and every one of those wins has taken us a step closer to opening a new concert hall. On a personal level, I am changed too. My working rhythm is entirely different, and it has taken the best part of a year to recalibrate. I’m no longer working from project to project, from month to month, with visible, creative endeavours to share with a new audience every few weeks. I still miss that cycle, that creative process and that feedback loop. It will be a long time before I hear that audience applause. But I’ve also learned to enjoy the change of pace, because I am challenged and rewarded in other ways every single week. And at the end of this first year I can honestly say that I am a different person and a different leader for it. As well as learning a whole new language and a whole new set of acronyms, I have learned patience and resilience, the vital art of delegation, and above all to trust my instincts. If the next four years go as quickly as the last, we’ll have a new concert hall in no time. Time to get building.

The Current State of Festival Storytelling Research (1980‐2024): Introduction to the Special Issue, Festivals and Storytelling In the?opening to the Special issue, Guest Editors Brianna W. and Dr Giulia Rossetti (FHEA) present their critical review of existing research on storytelling within festival contexts and provide an overview of current understandings. They then introduce the contributing articles of the Special Issue, highlighting the value of storytelling for audiences, hosts, and researchers. The article then concludes with a call for further research to address gaps and advance understanding of storytelling's practice, dynamics, and value in festival experiences.
