This comes out today and the writing of it has been as fascinating as co-creating the shows it deals with - work that emerged from and added to community. Ta to the people @IntellectBooks and @LBubble who saw me through - plus all the creators who made and performed the work.

Our Sam is running two 5 week book binding workshops at Morley College, on Friday evenings - Book arts: Sustainable Binding morleycollege.ac.uk/courses/… Book arts: Binding Spaces morleycollege.ac.uk/courses/…

As a contribution to our @WeAreLewisham year of culture, a wondering about an aspect of Lewisham that has always intrigued me, Hunting the Stag youtu.be/ZWAr3YVj_L0 via @YouTube. Share away @madeinlewisham @lewishamlocal @JaneCanDoSE4 If you wander the borough you’ll get it.

2/2 ...dancing cakes, ice sculptures, dogs on stage, eggs running into the distance, bees reviving a dead witch & more. Here’s the crew in Deptford at the site where Gilgamesh slew Humbaba & the young ⁦@LBubble⁩ WANT group made a piece about street art.Ta to all who walked.

1/2 The Greenwich Re-Marking started with the shady and shaded receiving messages from Jools (while facing in a specified direction) before we threaded through Oxleas Woods and tumbled down into Greenwich. The subject of the day was ⁦@LBubble⁩ images that haunt us still...

Yesterday a slippery sun-blocked crew took on the fourth Re-Marking. This time Southwark where we talked of ⁦@LBubble⁩ inspirations Augusto Boal & Vivian Gussin Paley plus ice sculptures, pancakes, sugar lumps and custard creams. Tomorrow the woods and parks of Greenwich.

Re-Marking 4 - a different crew this time, but ragged arsed as ever. Tracing ⁦⁦@LBubble⁩ doings North of town, tumbling down from Waterlow Pk to Kingsford St (site of the first Bubble office) - then on to the old Cochrane where we pantomimed. Subject of the day - Dogs.

At Bubble, the Charting the Mayflower group have been continuing to meet online. Here’s a film the group made while confined to their homes. It considers the women who were confined to the ship....Zooming The Mayflower Part 1 youtu.be/H1DFeOS9XBQ via @YouTube

Two offerings from the historical thinkers of Rotherhithe - one quoted here unherd.com/2018/11/lets-cele… and the other sending me this...

No kidding, ⁦day spent ⁦@surreydocksfarm⁩ with @LBubble staff and board members re-charged batteries and affirmed our purpose. Thank you ⁦@farmgemma⁩ for having us.

Two minute film explaining powerfully why and how we need to question how data is used. youtube.com/watch?v=heQzqX35…

So we Measured the Mayflower. Amazingly, exactly 132 people helped us find out how 132 passengers packed into the space (plus 2 dogs, 2 sheep, a chicken and two truculent goats). Thank you ⁦@LondonShanty⁩ ⁦@surreydocksfarm⁩ and all at ⁦@LBubble⁩.

After 11 years of brilliant work my friend and side-kick Shipra leaves @LBubble today. Aka @shiponhighseas she has been the rock on which Bubble has survived and thrived. We wish the Ships fair weather on her new voyage.

Core staff member for Canine Matters returns to work ⁦@LBubble⁩ after sick leave. Not getting a lot done however.

A bit chuffed to have been awarded an Honorary Fellowship by Rose Bruford College today. Got to speak a few words about why we need theatre today, shared here.. peoplemaketheatre.blogspot.c… Ta @rosebruford
