Delighted to receive touring funding from Creative Scotland for my show Tongue Twister. And here i am dressed as a French aunt with a tent for a dress to celebrate! 📸 Matthias Kremer www.creativescotland.com/news-stories...

That feeling when you finally get round to restringing your cello 😇

So bored of the narrative that artists are unable to receive feedback on failed applications due to small team/number of submissions. If you’re doing your job properly in order to reject an idea, you’ll have taken notes on why. That’s all we need to see.

Submitting a funding application 10 days before the deadline. Who even am I?

Going through a phase of imposter syndrome right now. Any freelance artists got any tips on how to shake it? It’s making me want to cancel projects it’s pretty bad #ImposterSyndrome #Artist

Walking through a busy shopping centre listening to Underworld Dark and Long is a viiiibe

Edinburgh sign language (BSL) interpreters, I'm looking for someone to interpret for a film session this Wednesday afternoon - if you are available, please comment or DM me, and I will send over details! Also please share if you know of any interpreters who might be available to work. Thank you!!! 🙏🏻

aabendans.dk/forestilling... Fun thinking about my sound design happening in Denmark this week as The Show for Young Men does its first international gigs! #dance #performanceart #sounddesign

Still thinking about being in a dance class yesterday and a song with bass guitar came on and I loudly shouted out, “Bass guitar is the sexiest instrument”. And no one responded. 🫠

Still don’t really know what I’m doing here… Aaanyway here’s a, what I would deem, perfect song. Flawless production, gorgeous melody, haunting lyrics. And Tracey Thorn’s voice ❤️ youtu.be/EBQmlWVamFM?...

Slightly obsessed with this. Spotted in the National Museum in Oslo.

Oh my goodness. Using my train journey back home to Glasgow to reflect on the sheer beauty and emotional punch of #MagneticNorth’s #WeWillHearTheAngels @fruitmarket.bsky.social 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨ Thank you @nicholasbone.bsky.social and all the cast for the🎼❤️‍🩹💗 #UncleVanya

Final week of shows. Tonight's show is audio-described and tomorrow's is BSL interpreted. ⭐⭐⭐⭐ - The Stage www.fruitmarket.co.uk/event/magnet...

There are also a bunch of new artistic directors north of the border, including Alan Cumming at Pitlochry, Jemima Levick at Glasgow’s Tron & James Brining at Edinburgh’s Lyceum www.theguardian.com/stage/2025/f...

This is an absolute gem. Pop some headphones on and stick with it. It’s so weird and funny and beautiful. youtu.be/j4fEHSU19tI?...

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ “the latest production from local multidisciplinary company Magnetic North, which celebrates its 25th anniversary this year…is oddly exquisite.” 👏👏👏👏👏🫶✨ @nicholasbone.bsky.social @fruitmarket.bsky.social @gregsinclairartist.bsky.social www.thestage.co.uk/reviews/we-w...

Performances of WE WILL HEAR THE ANGELS from Magnetic North continue in Fruitmarket Warehouse until 06.02.35. This show brings your favourite sad songs to life as we meditate on loneliness together. Performed each evening at 7pm (not Sun & Mon). Book tickets: www.tickettailor.com/events/fruit...

I don't think I'll every understand why tv shows, films and stage productions use adults to play teenagers and children when actual teenagers and children exist.

hello bluesky, if you have children and/or like fun music (written with and for kids) Sprog Rocks debut album BORN READY is out today. You can get it on Bandcamp (or most of the other places) sprogrock.bandcamp.com/

Actually gutted that our preview performance of We Will Hear the Angels is cancelled tonight due to the storm. First night tomorrow instead

See when we had the Arches, it was a space in the city centre with multiple rehearsal rooms where someone who had never made a professional show in their life could email the office and ask to book in for like a week, and get it no bother, and come in and make a theatre show in there for free

📣 One week left to apply for our small scale commissions call-out 📣 We are looking for two small-scale performances for children and families to be performed in noisy spaces. Commissioned with Aberdeen Performing Arts and Renfrewshire’s OneRen. imaginate.org.uk Deadline 27 Jan 25 📸 Ruth Armstrong

I’m performing in We Will Hear the Angels by Magnetic North @fruitmarket.bsky.social . It’s a beautifully strange mix of words, movement and sad music. Come see and wallow in melancholy! www.fruitmarket.co.uk/event/magnet...

We Will Hear the Angels is at Edinburgh’s Fruitmarket from Friday 24/1-6/2 - it’s about heartbreak and sad songs. Tickets available here www.tickettailor.com/events/fruit...

This made my heart sing today
