The amazing HANNAH MARCUS released today her new album TEN BONES FROM A VIRGIN GRAVEYARD! As you listen, you shall sing, dance, smile at the wit, gnash your teeth and weep at the weepers, and find the hairs in your ears stand on end like quills upon a porcupine. Lost for some 20 years in morphological space, these songs have shown great courage and intelligence to make their way out, malgré their composer. With 8 sec shadow videos from me!

Looking for performers to tour Goldbug in China this summer! It’s a kids’ show about sound, imagination and the music of dreams. I need to cast Goldbug - a magical child character - and Mazzy - a mad pianist who lives in a black hole. I’m looking for people who are super playful, multi-talented, slightly anarchic and great with kids. Mazzy role requires high level classical piano skills. Goldbug role includes shadow puppetry. Any thoughts or suggestions - lemme know! See www.i-piano.co.uk/goldbug #kidsshow #castingcall #actor #pianist

Amazing tour of I Piano in Shanghai! Pix from ultra schmantzy Shanghai Symphony Hall. As T said, ‘We are not bums!’
👏🎩❤️ to @terenia_edwards_, @tryani_collective, Joy, Kate Chen and everyone at DKS.

Amazing tour of I Piano in Shanghai! Pix from The Bridge Theatre. 170 kids in insane bear pit! We wrestled the bear and, like DiCaprio in The Revenant, improbably survived. Kudos to @terenia_edwards_ , @tryani_collective and Joy for their grrr 🐻

Does anyone know someone with experience of creating foley sounds (or something close)? It’s for a theatre project using live foley on stage - would love to discuss, drink coffee, maybe collaborate …. How do you get good crunchy footsteps?

Won the Business Book Award 2023 for Smart Thinking! They say in this life you gotta take the red carpet moments where you can get ‘em. Missed the schmantzy dinner doing photos and interviews, and wound up at the bottom of the night home alone with a bowl of noodles and a stolen beer. #bba #businessbookawards #businessbooks #digitaldisruption #disruptioninaction #smartthinking

Came across a filming platform on a walk in Hurt Wood (and yes it’s really called Hurt Wood). It turns out this is where they shoot big budget forest chase scenes: The Mummy, The Avengers, Jurassic World, Skyfall … and coming soon to your screens, Hurt Wood! DOP @onlytookthedog @annefreier_

A real pleasure to have shared a book panel with Cilia Laug, Jaclyn Siu, Susanne Schlösser and Florian Feichtinger on Thursday in Berlin! Many highlights; here a few:

👉 🧠 Cilia made something that solved a problem for herself, and in no time had 1000s of orders.

👉 🧠 Jaclyn learned the best thing she could do as a cofounder was to really listen to everyone in her team, and understand what they could do better than she could.

👉 🧠 Susanne talked about two teams given the task of building Lego houses: one for the sake of the task, the other for their kids. Guess which made more houses. Purpose, people.

👉 🧠 Flo set up a community-based recruitment agency - high trust, big success. But soon companies were coming back to ask how to work with their new hires. They didn’t just need people; they needed trust-driven ways of working with people.

And much, much more. Huge thanks to all, and big up to Jaclyn’s new venture Starcycle!
